Mais Uma Noite A Vencer Lyrics in English by Pedro Abrunhosa & Os Bandemónio
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mais Uma Noite A Vencer by Pedro Abrunhosa & Os Bandemónio from Portuguese to English.
Partiu na madrugada
Left at dawn
Sem se deixar fazer canção
Without letting herself become a song
De mão aberta se fez à estrada
With open hand she took to the road
Traçando sonhos pelo chão
Tracing dreams on the ground
«Nesta cidade faz sempre frio»
"In this city it's always cold"
Disse o taxista que a apanhou
Said the taxi driver who picked her up
Sem reparar no olhar vazio
Without noticing the empty gaze
E no corpo que o habitou
And the body that inhabited it
Da janela vê-se
From the window one sees
Um lugar bem melhor
A much better place
Esta casa
This house
Esta esquina
This corner
Ou seja onde for
Or wherever it may be
'Tenho que parar'- pensou
"I have to stop" - she thought
E tentou não dormir
And tried not to sleep
Porque tudo o que queres
Because all you want
É alguém para amar
Is someone to love
Uma sombra
A shadow
Um chão devagar
A slow ground
E tudo o que tens
And all you have
É um nada a perder
Is nothing to lose
Um segredo
A secret
Mais uma noite a vencer
One more night to overcome
O silêncio louco da cidade
The city's crazy silence
Apanhou-a desprevenida
Caught her off guard
Entrou num bar em tons de roxo
She entered a bar in shades of purple
E no azul de uma bebida
And in the blue of a drink
Atravessou o rio
She crossed the river
Uma última vez
One last time
Pela ponte inexistente
By the non-existent bridge
Foi encontrada junto ao cais
She was found by the dock
Vestindo uma nudez diferente
Wearing a different nakedness
Agora já tens tempo
Now you already have time
Para rir das estrelas
To laugh at the stars
Como gostavas
As you used to like
E fazias com elas
And used to do with them
E nos cinemas
And in the cinemas
Era a tua voz no ecrã
It was your voice on the screen
Uma bandeira
A flag
Uma maneira
A way
De beijares a manhã
To kiss the morning
Refrão
Chorus

desprevenida — unprepared / caught off guard
Desprevenida means 'unprepared' or 'caught off guard'. It's a vivid word that suggests a sudden, unexpected event or feeling.
In the song, it's used to describe how "O silêncio louco da cidade Apanhou-a desprevenida" (The city's crazy silence caught her unprepared). This personification of silence as something that can surprise someone adds a layer of intrigue and emotion, making the word stand out.
