Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Psiu by Liniker from Portuguese to English.
Pra quem não sabia contar gotas
For somebody who couldn't count drops
'Cê aprendeu a nadar
You learned to swim
O mar te cobriu sereno
The sea calmly covered you
Pra quem não sabia contar gotas
For somebody who couldn't count drops
'Cê aprendeu a nadar
You learned to swim
O mar te cobriu sereno
The sea calmly covered you
Sem ponto, sem virgula, sem meia, descalça
No period, no comma, no socks, barefoot
Descascou o medo pra caber coragem
You peeled fear off to fit courage
Sem calma, sem nada, sem ar
No calm, nothing, no air
Sem ponto, sem virgula, sem meia, descalça
No period, no comma, no socks, barefoot
Descascou o medo pra caber coragem
You peeled fear off to fit courage
Sem calma, sem nada, sem ar
No calm, nothing, no air
Borrifou um segredo pra fazer a lua
You sprayed a secret to shape the moon
Temperou com calma teu desassossego
You seasoned your unrest with calm
Empanou com areia tua calma santa
You coated your sacred calm with sand
Salvou um beijo
Saved a kiss
Chorou na despedida
Cried at the farewell
Mas gozaram chamas
But they enjoyed the flames
Amanheceu à guarda de esperar o sono
Dawn broke keeping watch, still waiting for sleep
Desesperou de medo quando ficou tarde
Panicked with fear when it got late
Chamou minha atenção
Caught my attention
Fazendo serenata
Serenading
O mergulho foi tão bom que me encheu de graça
The dive was so good it filled me with joy
Molhou meu coração
It soaked my heart
Mergulho em fumaça
A dive in smoke
Num delirante assovio psiu, psiu, psiu
In a delirious whistle, psst, psst, psst
Num delirante assovio psiu, psiu, psiu
In a delirious whistle, psst, psst, psst
