Fatalidade
António Zambujo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que nada de nós sobrou
No bau do coração
E que a vida continua
Pois até a tua lua
Nasce noutra direção
Pois até a tua lua
Nasce noutra direção
Pões o Inverno na voz
Quando me dizes que nós
Passamos no calendário
Mas eu até acho graça
Falas do tempo que passa
E o olhar diz o contrário
Mas eu até acho graça
Falas do tempo que passa
E o olhar diz o contrário
Vens p′ra dizer adeus
Mas não te esqueces dos teus brincos
Que pões para mim
Onde vais de vestidinho
E de sapato baixinho?
Ninguém se despede assim
Onde vais de vestidinho
E de sapato baixinho?
Ninguém se despede assim
Eu finjo que até concordo
E que já nada recordo
Desta paixão sem saída
E ficamos abraçados
Como dois enamorados
Dizendo adeus toda a vida
E ficamos abraçados
Como dois enamorados
Dizendo adeus toda a vida

Tu dizes que já passou
You say that it's over
Que nada de nós sobrou
That nothing is left of us
No bau do coração
In the chest of your heart
E que a vida continua
And that life goes on
Pois até a tua lua
Because even your moon
Nasce noutra direção
Rises in another direction
Pões o Inverno na voz
You put winter in your tone
Quando me dizes que nós
When you say that we
Passamos no calendário
Have passed on the calendar
Mas eu até acho graça
But I find it amusing
Falas do tempo que passa
You talk about time passing
E o olhar diz o contrário
But your gaze says the opposite
Vens p′ra dizer adeus
You come to say goodbye
Mas não te esqueces dos teus brincos
But you don't forget your earrings
Que pões para mim
That you put on for me
Onde vais de vestidinho
Where are you going in your little dress
E de sapato baixinho?
And low shoes?
Ninguém se despede assim
No one says goodbye like that
Eu finjo que até concordo
I pretend to even agree
E que já nada recordo
And that I don't remember anything anymore
Desta paixão sem saída
Of this hopeless passion
E ficamos abraçados
And we stay embraced
Como dois enamorados
Like two lovers
Dizendo adeus toda a vida
Saying goodbye forever
