Fotografia Lyrics in English Negra Li
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Fotografia by Negra Li from Portuguese to English.
Está com todo som, na boca nas palavras
It's in every sound, in the mouth, in the words
Está em outro tom, nas sílabas caladas
It's in another tone, in the silent syllables
A minha linda voz
My beautiful voice
Está como eu estou nas roupas, nas sandálias
It's how I am, in my clothes, in my sandals
Está aonde eu vou na rua, nas calçadas
It's where I go, in the street, on the sidewalks
A minha linda voz
My beautiful voice
Sou negra livre
I am a free Black woman
Negra livre
Free Black woman
Cheguei aqui a pé
I arrived here on foot
Para destoar
To stand out
Para dissolver
To dissolve
Para despertar
To awaken
Pra dizer
To say
Está na cara, a cor, na sombra das imagens
It's obvious, the color, in the shadow of the images
Em tudo o que supor, nos contos, nas miragens
In everything one assumes, in the tales, in the mirages
A minha linda voz
My beautiful voice
Está em toda dor, na gota de uma lágrima
It's in all pain, in the drop of a tear
Da em qualquer sabor na beira da estrada
It's in every flavor, by the roadside
A minha linda voz
My beautiful voice
Sou negra livre
I am a free Black woman
Negra livre
Free Black woman
Cheguei aqui a pé
I arrived here on foot
Para desnudar
To strip bare
Para derreter
To melt
Para descolar
To detach
Pra viver
To live
Para deslizar
To glide
Para devolver
To give back
Para desbocar
To speak out
Pra doer
To hurt
Para desamar
To stop loving
Para adormecer
To fall asleep
Para desfilar
To parade
Pra vencer!
To win!

destoar — to be out of tune / to clash
Destoar means 'to be out of tune' or 'to clash'. It's an interesting word because it goes beyond just musical harmony, extending to ideas of not fitting in or standing out.
