Lyrics and translation Cesária Évora - Tortura




Tortura
Torture
Fazê-me um sinal na vida
Give me a sign in life
Pa' me podê dirigi nha barca
So I can steer my boat
E vog' na mar di amor
And sail into the sea of your love
Longe di tudo dor
Far from all pain
Livre di temporal
Free from storms
Mansinho
Gently
Mosta'-me tudo quel bem querer cretcheu
Show me all the love you said you had
Qui ta podê tra' nha viver di breu
That can bring my life out of darkness
Ilumina ' nha camin d' felecidade
Illuminate my path with happiness
Raiode pa simplicidade
A ray of light for simplicity
Dum vivença
Of an experience
Cheio di carinho
Full of affection
Ja' me larga' um S.O.S.
I have sent out an S.O.S.
Di nha solidaô
From my solitude
Mode nesse escuridâo
Because in this darkness
Ja' me ta quase na perdiçâo
I am almost lost
Deus sabê nh'agonia
Only God knows my anguish
Na ausencia
In your absence
Qui ta tortura'-me, tortura'-me
That tortures me, tortures me
Qui ta tortura' nha alma intera
That tortures my whole soul
