These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Lembras-me uma marcha de lisboa
Reminds me of a march from Lisbon
Num desfile singular
In a unique parade
Que há horas e momentos p'ra se amar
That there are hours and moments to love yourself
Lembras-me uma enchente de maré
You remind me of a tidal flood
Com uma calma matinal
With a morning calm
Que o mar dos olhos também sabe a sal
That the sea of the eyes also knows the salt
As memórias são
Memories are
Como livros escondidos no pó
Like books hidden in dust
As lembranças são
Memories are
Os sorrisos que queremos rever, devagar
The smiles we want to review, slowly
Queria viver tudo numa noite
I wanted to live it all in one night
Sem perder a procurar
Without losing the search
O tempo, ou o espaço
Time, or space
Que é indiferente p'ra poder sonhar
That it is indifferent to be able to dream
As memórias são
Memories are
Como livros escondidos no pó
Like books hidden in dust
As lembranças são
Memories are
Os sorrisos que queremos rever, devagar
The smiles we want to review, slowly
Quem foi que provocou vontades
Who was who provoked wills
E atiçou as tempestades
And stirred the storms
E amarrou o barco ao cais
And tied the boat to the pier
Quem foi, que matou o desejo
Who was it, who killed the desire
E arrancou o lábio ao beijo
And tore off his lip to kiss
E amainou os vendavais
And it softened the gales
As memórias são
Memories are
Como livros escondidos no pó
Like books hidden in dust
As lembranças são
Memories are
Os sorrisos que queremos rever, devagar
The smiles we want to review, slowly
