Lyrics and translation Dulce Pontes - Se Voaras Mais Ao Perto




Se Voaras Mais Ao Perto
If You Fly Closer
Se voaras mais ao perto poisavas noutra vidraça
If you flew closer, you would rest on another window pane
Com o teu bico dentado trazias mais um na asa
With your jagged beak, you would bring another one in your wing
Iô-riô, riô-riô-iô, riô-riô-iô
Yo-yo, ri-yo-yo-yo, ri-yo-yo-yo
Iô-riô, riô-riô-iô, riô-ri-iô-iô
Yo-yo, ri-yo-yo-yo, ri-yo-ri-yo-yo
Vem longe o dia da monda não é tempo de mondar
The day for weeding is far away, it is not the time for weeding
Ò cigana ò ciganinha que nome te hei-de eu dar
Oh, gypsy, oh, little gypsy, what name should I give you?
Iô-riô, riô-riô-iô, riô-riô-iô, riô-ri-iô-iô
Yo-yo, ri-yo-yo-yo, ri-yo-yo-yo, ri-yo-ri-yo-yo
Iô-riô, riô-riô-iô, riô-ri-iô-iô, riô-ri-iô-iô
Yo-yo, ri-yo-yo-yo, ri-yo-ri-yo-yo, ri-yo-ri-yo-yo
Andorinha de asa preta vai gritando em altos brados
Black-winged swallow, screaming from above
Chega-te à minha janela livra-me destes cuidados
Come to my window, free me from these worries
Iô-riô, riô-riô-iô, riô-riô-iô
Yo-yo, ri-yo-yo-yo, ri-yo-yo-yo
Iô-riô, riô-riô-iô, riô-ri-iô-iô, riô-ri-iô-iô
Yo-yo, ri-yo-yo-yo, ri-yo-ri-yo-yo, ri-yo-ri-yo-yo
Se voaras mais ao perto a tua sorte era a minha
If you flew closer, your fate would be mine
Diz-me ò ciganita o que nos quer a andorinha
Tell me, little gypsy girl, what does the swallow want from us?
Iô-riô, riô-riô-iô, riô-riô-iô, riô-ri-iô-iô
Yo-yo, ri-yo-yo-yo, ri-yo-yo-yo, ri-yo-ri-yo-yo
Iô-riô, riô-riô-iô, riô-ri-iô-iô, riô-ri-iô-iô
Yo-yo, ri-yo-yo-yo, ri-yo-ri-yo-yo, ri-yo-ri-yo-yo
O que nos quer a andorinha bem gostara de saber
What does the swallow want from us? I would love to know
O mundo é bola de fogo, nem todos ficam a arder
The world is a ball of fire, not everyone is on fire
Iô-riô, riô-riô-iô, riô-riô-iô, riô-ri-iô-iô
Yo-yo, ri-yo-yo-yo, ri-yo-yo-yo, ri-yo-ri-yo-yo
Iô-riô, riô-riô-iô, riô-ri-iô-iô, riô-ri-iô-iô
Yo-yo, ri-yo-yo-yo, ri-yo-ri-yo-yo, ri-yo-ri-yo-yo
