Lyrics and translation Erasmo Carlos - Paralelas




Paralelas
Parallels
Dentro do carro
In the car
Sob o trevo
Under the clover
A cem por hora, ó meu amor
A hundred miles an hour, oh my love
tens agora os carinhos do motor
You only have the engine's affection now
E no escritório em que eu trabalho
And in the office where I work
E fico rico, quanto mais eu multiplico
And I get rich, the more I multiply
Diminui o meu amor
My love diminishes
Em cada luz de mercúrio
In every mercury light
Vejo a luz do teu olhar
I see the light of your gaze
Passas praças, viadutos
You cross squares, viaducts
Tu nem te lembras de voltar
You don't even remember to come back
De voltar, de voltar
To come back, to come back
No Corcovado, quem abre os braços sou eu
On Corcovado, it's me who opens my arms
Copacabana, esta semana, o mar sou eu
Copacabana, this week, the sea is me
E as borboletas do que fui pousam demais
And the butterflies of what I was land too much
Por entre as flores do asfalto em que tu vais
Among the flowers of the asphalt where you go
E as paralelas dos pneus n'água das ruas
And the parallels of the tires in the water of the streets
São duas estradas nuas
Are two naked roads
Em que foges do que é teu
In which you flee from what is yours
No apartamento, oitavo andar
In the apartment, eighth floor
Abro a vidraça e grito quando o carro passa
I open the window and scream when the car passes
Teu infinito sou eu
Your infinite is me
Sou eu, sou eu, sou eu
It's me, it's me, it's me
No Corcovado, quem abre os braços sou eu
On Corcovado, it's me who opens my arms
Copacabana, esta semana, o mar sou eu
Copacabana, this week, the sea is me
E as borboletas do que fui pousam demais
And the butterflies of what I was land too much
Por entre as flores do asfalto em que tu vais
Among the flowers of the asphalt where you go
