À Noite Sonhei Contigo Lyrics in English Paula Toller
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song À Noite Sonhei Contigo by Paula Toller from Portuguese to English.
À noite sonhei contigo
At night I dreamed with you
E não 'tava dormindo
And I wasn't sleeping
Justo ao contrário
Quite the opposite
Estava bem desperto
I was wide awake
Sonhei que não fazia
I dreamed I wasn't making
O menor esforço
The slightest effort
Para que te entregasses
For you to surrender
Em ti, já estava imerso
In you, I was already immersed
Que lindo que é sonhar
How beautiful it is to dream
Sonhar não custa nada
Dreaming costs nothing
Sonhar e nada mais
To dream and nothing more
De olhos bem abertos
With eyes wide open
Que lindo que é sonhar
How beautiful it is to dream
E não te custa nada mais que tempo
And it costs you nothing more than time
Sofrer com tanta angústia
To suffer with so much anguish
Por coisas tão pequenas
For such small things
Gastar essa energia
To waste this energy
Assim não vale à pena
This way it's not worth it
Quem dera me livrar
I wish I could free myself
Pra sempre de mim mesmo
Forever from myself
E só me reencontrar
And only find myself again
Lá no teu doce abismo
There in your sweet abyss
Que lindo que é sonhar
How beautiful it is to dream
Sonhar não custa nada
Dreaming costs nothing
Sonhar e nada mais
To dream and nothing more
De olhos bem abertos
With eyes wide open
Que lindo que é sonhar
How beautiful it is to dream
E não te custa nada mais que tempo
And it costs you nothing more than time
Quem dera me livrar
I wish I could free myself
Pra sempre de mim mesmo
Forever from myself
E só me reencontrar
And only find myself again
Lá no teu doce abismo
There in your sweet abyss
Que lindo que é sonhar
How beautiful it is to dream
Sonhar não custa nada
Dreaming costs nothing
Sonhar e nada mais
To dream and nothing more
De olhos bem abertos
With eyes wide open
Que lindo que é sonhar
How beautiful it is to dream
E não te custa nada mais que tempo
And it costs you nothing more than time
Que lindo que é sonhar
How beautiful it is to dream
Sonhar não custa nada
Dreaming costs nothing
Sonhar e nada mais
To dream and nothing more
De olhos bem abertos
With eyes wide open
Que lindo que é sonhar
How beautiful it is to dream
E não te custa nada mais que tempo
And it costs you nothing more than time
Nada mais que tempo
Nothing more than time
Did you like this lyrics translation?
abismo — abyss
Abismo translates to "abyss". It's a strong and evocative word that immediately conjures images of depth and mystery, making it quite memorable.
In the context of the song, the singer expresses a desire to "reencontrar lá no teu doce abismo" (re-encounter myself there in your sweet abyss). This metaphorical use of "abyss" suggests a profound, perhaps overwhelming, connection to another person, where one might lose and then rediscover themselves. It adds a layer of poetic intensity to the romantic theme.
