Lyrics and translation Jorge Palma - Duas amigas - Live

Duas amigas - Live

Eram duas amigas desfolhando a sorte
Acenando os dotes que a vida lhes deu
Eram duas compinchas a tagarelar
Dispunham de tempo e espaço
O limite era o céu

Eram duas amigas
Eram unha com carne
Semeando os gestos ao deus dará
Eram protagonistas nos retratos
Entre um decote mais ousado
E um golo de chá

Veio o ciúme, veio a paixão
Veio o abismo onde cai a razão
Vieram dias escuros cada vez mais iguais
Cada uma mais perto de ter a verdade na mão

Eram duas amigas
Entretendo o tempo, tecendo muros de papel
Eram duas comadres desconversando
Perdidas no traço fino
Entre o fel e o mel

Eram duas amigas
Ecoando ao fundo
No centro do mundo, onde eu morei
Eram dois segundos de concentração
Vestidos de cores que eu nunca mais descreverei

Veio o silencio ensurdecedor
Ainda há contacto mas não há calor
Quando as mãos ficam rijas e a alma se esconde
E fica entrincheirada
Entre o ódio e o amor
Entre o ódio e o amor

Two Girlfriends - Live

There were two girlfriends laying out their fate
Showing off the gifts that life had given them
There were two cronies chatting
They had time and space
The limit was the sky

There were two girlfriends
They were as thick as thieves
Sowing their actions to the gods of chance
They were the main characters in the photographs
Between a more daring neckline
And a cup of tea

Jealousy came, passion came
The chasm where reason falls came
Darker days came, increasingly the same
Each one closer to holding the truth in their hand

There were two girlfriends
Wasting time, building paper walls
There were two gossips talking nonsense
Lost in the fine line
Between poison and honey

There were two girlfriends
Echoing in the background
In the center of the world, where I lived
There were two seconds of concentration
Dressed in colors that I'll never describe again

Deafening silence came
There's still contact, but there's no warmth
When hands grow stiff and the soul hides
And becomes entrenched
Between hate and love
Between hate and love
