Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Montras by Mariza from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Ando na berma
I walk on the side
Tropeço na confusão
Stumble in the confusion
Desço a avenida
I go down the avenue
E toda a cidade estende-me a mão
And the whole city reaches out to me
Sigo na rua a pé, e a gente passa
I walk down the street, and we pass
Apressada falando, o rio defronte
Hurriedly speaking, the river in front
Voam gaivotas no horizonte
Seagulls fly on the horizon
Só o teu amor é tão real
Only your love is so real
Só o teu amor
Only your love
São montras ruas
They are street windows
E o trânsito
And the traffic
Não para ao sinal
Don't stop at the signal
São mil pessoas
There are a thousand people
Atravessando na vida real
Crossing in real life
Os emigrantes, desenganos, ciganos
Emigrants, deceivers, gypsies
Um dia normal
A normal day
Como a brisa que sopra do rio
Like the breeze that blows from the river
Ao fim da tarde
At the end of the afternoon
Em Lisboa afinal
In Lisbon after all
Só o teu amor é tão real
Only your love is so real
Só o teu amor
Only your love
Gente que passa
People passing by
A quem se rouba o sossego
Who is robbed of peace
Gente que engrossa
People who grow
As filas do desemprego
The unemployment lines
São vendedores, polícias, bancas, jornais
They are sellers, police, newsstands, newspapers
Como os barcos que passam tão cheios
Like the boats that pass by so full
Tão perto partindo do cais
So close to the pier
Só o teu amor é tão real
Only your love is so real
Só o teu amor, só o teu amor é tão real
Only your love, only your love is so real
Só o teu amor
Only your love
