Foi Deus Lyrics in English Mariza
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Foi Deus by Mariza from Portuguese to English.
Porque canto fado, neste tom magoado
Because I sing fado, in this wounded tone
De dor e de pranto
Of pain and tears
E neste tormento, todo o sofrimento
And in this torment, all the suffering
Eu sinto que a alma cá dentro se acalma
I feel the soul inside me grows calm
Nos versos que canto
In the verses I sing
Foi Deus que deu luz aos olhos
It was God who gave light to the eyes
Perfumou as rosas, deu ouro ao sol e prata ao luar
Perfumed the roses, gave gold to the sun and silver to the moonlight
Foi Deus que me pôs no peito
It was God who put in my chest
Um rosário de penas que vou desfiando e choro a cantar
A rosary of sorrows I keep unraveling and I cry as I sing
E pôs as estrelas no céu
And put the stars in the sky
E fez o espaço sem fim
And made space without end
Deu luto as andorinhas
Gave mourning to the swallows
Ai e deu-me esta voz a mim
Oh and gave this voice to me
Se canto, não sei porque canto
If I sing, I don't know why I sing
Misto de ternura, saudade, ventura e talvez de amor
A mix of tenderness, longing, fortune and maybe love
Mas sei que cantando
But I know that singing
Sinto o mesmo quando, se tem um desgosto
I feel the same as when there's heartbreak
E o pranto no rosto nos deixa melhor
And the tears on the face leave us better
Foi Deus, que deu voz ao vento
It was God, who gave voice to the wind
Luz ao firmamento
Light to the firmament
E deu o azul às ondas do mar
And gave blue to the waves of the sea
Ai foi Deus, que me pôs no peito
Oh it was God, who put in my chest
Um rosário de penas que vou desfiando e choro a cantar
A rosary of sorrows I keep unraveling and I cry as I sing
Fez poeta o rouxinol
Made the nightingale a poet
Pôs no campo o alecrim
Put rosemary in the field
Deu flores à primavera
Gave flowers to the spring
Ai e deu-me esta voz a mim
Oh and gave this voice to me
Deu flores à primavera
Gave flowers to the spring
Ai e deu-me esta voz a mim
Oh and gave this voice to me
