Sempre: O Espaço Vazio Lyrics in English by Pedro Abrunhosa & Os Bandemónio
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Sempre: O Espaço Vazio by Pedro Abrunhosa & Os Bandemónio from Portuguese to English.
Deixei as palavras
I let the words
Devorar-me os segredos
Devour my secrets
Abracei a cidade
I embraced the city
E prendi-a entre os dedos
And held it between my fingers
Cansei-me das ruas
I got tired of the streets
Das luzes de prata
Of the silver lights
Escondi-me nas portas
I hid in the doorways
Em vertigens de faca
In knife-edge vertigo
Abri as janelas
I opened the windows
Sobre praças divinas
Over divine squares
E fechei-te nos braços
And held you in my arms
Sob a luz das cortinas
Under the light of the curtains
Mergulhei no abismo
I dove into the abyss
De um olhar tão urgente
Of such an urgent gaze
E beijei-te sem pressa
And kissed you slowly
Pedindo-te o sempre
Asking you for forever
A vida é só este espaço vazio
Life is just this empty space
Um instante demente
An insane instant
Entre as margens de um rio
Between the banks of a river
Um pedaço de tempo
A piece of time
De mentiras eternas
Of eternal lies
Uma névoa de gente
A mist of people
De esperanças pequenas
Of small hopes
Foi então que sonhei
It was then I dreamed
Que não tinhas partido
That you hadn't left
Que as mãos eram céu
That your hands were heaven
E as noites comigo
And the nights with me
Acordei num abraço
I woke up in an embrace
Sereno de ti
Serene from you
E foi preso no nada
And it was trapped in nothingness
Que no sonho morri
That in the dream I died
Disseste que o quarto
You said the room
Te fugia das mãos
Was escaping your hands
Eu perdi-me no medo
I got lost in the fear
Que tivesses razão
That you might be right
Mata-me a saudade
This longing kills me
Agarra-me para sempre
Hold me forever
A vida é só este espaço vazio
Life is just this empty space
Um instante demente
An insane instant
Entre as margens de um rio
Between the banks of a river
Um pedaço de tempo
A piece of time
De mentiras eternas
Of eternal lies
Uma névoa de gente
A mist of people
De esperanças pequenas
Of small hopes

Did you like this lyrics translation?
vertigens — vertigo / dizziness
Vertigens translates to "vertigo" or "dizziness." It's a less common word in everyday conversation and carries a strong sense of disorientation and intensity.
In the song, the phrase "Em vertigens de faca" (In knife-like vertigos) creates a vivid and somewhat unsettling image. It suggests a dizzying, dangerous, and perhaps thrilling sensation, adding a layer of dramatic tension to the lyrics.
