L'Age D'Or Lyrics in English Legião Urbana
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song L'Age D'Or by Legião Urbana from Portuguese to English.
Aprendi a esperar mas não tenho mais certeza
I learned to wait but I'm no longer sure
Agora que estou bem, tão pouca coisa me interessa
Now that I'm well, so little interests me
Contra minha própria vontade sou teimoso, sincero
Against my own will I'm stubborn, sincere
E insisto em ter vontade própria
And I insist on having my own will
Se a sorte foi um dia alheia ao meu sustento
If luck was one day unrelated to my livelihood
Não houve harmonia entre ação e pensamento
There was no harmony between action and thought
Qual é teu nome, qual é teu signo?
What's your name, what's your sign?
Teu corpo é gostoso, teu rosto é bonito
Your body is hot, your face is pretty
Qual é teu arcano, tua pedra preciosa
What's your arcana, your precious stone
Acho tocante acreditares nisso
I find it touching that you believe in it
Já tentei muitas coisas, de heroína a Jesus
I've tried many things, from heroin to Jesus
Tudo que já fiz foi por vaidade
Everything I've done was out of vanity
Jesus foi traído com um beijo
Jesus was betrayed with a kiss
Davi teve um grande amigo
David had a great friend
E não sei mais se é só questão de sorte
And I don't know anymore if it's just a matter of luck
Eu vi uma serpente entrando no jardim
I saw a serpent entering the garden
Vai ver que é de verdade dessa vez
Maybe it's real this time
Meu tornozelo coça, por causa de mosquito
My ankle itches, because of a mosquito
Estou com os cabelos molhados, me sinto limpo
My hair is wet, I feel clean
Não existe beleza na miséria
There's no beauty in misery
E não tem volta por aqui
And there's no turning back from here
Vamos tentar outro caminho
Let's try another path
Estamos em perigo, só que ainda não entendo
We're in danger, but I still don't understand
É que tudo faz sentido
It's that everything makes sense
E não sei mais se é só questão de sorte
And I don't know anymore if it's just a matter of luck
Não sei mais não sei mais não sei mais
I don't know anymore I don't know anymore I don't know anymore
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Lá vem os jovens gigantes de mármore
Here come the young marble giants
Trazendo anzóis na palma da mão
Bringing fishhooks in the palm of their hand
Não é belo todo e qualquer mistério
Not every mystery is beautiful
O maior segredo é não haver mistério algum
The biggest secret is that there's no mystery at all

Did you like this lyrics translation?
anzóis — fishhooks
Anzóis translates to "fishhooks". It's a striking and somewhat unexpected word to find in a song, especially in a metaphorical context.
In "L'Age D'Or", the lyric "Trazendo anzóis na palma da mão" (Bringing fishhooks in the palm of their hand) creates a powerful image. It suggests a hidden danger or a deceptive intention, implying that the "young giants of marble" are not as benevolent as they might appear, and are perhaps looking to ensnare or trap others. This makes it a memorable and thought-provoking word.
