Lyrics and translation Rui Veloso - A paixão (Segundo Nicolau da Viola) - Live




A paixão (Segundo Nicolau da Viola) - Live
The Passion (According to Nicolau da Viola) - Live
Tu eras aquela que eu mais queria
You were the one I wanted most
P′ra me dar algum conforto e companhia
To give me some comfort and companionship
Era contigo que eu sonhava andar
It was only with you that I dreamed of walking
P'ra todo o lado e até quem sabe?
Everywhere and who knows?
Talvez casar
Maybe get married
Ai o que eu passei, por te amar
Oh, what I went through, just for loving you
A saliva que eu gastei para te mudar
The saliva I spent trying to change you
Mas esse teu mundo era mais forte do que eu
But your world was stronger than me
E nem com a força da música ele se moveu
And not even with the power of music could it be moved
Mesmo sabendo que não gostavas
Even knowing that you didn't like it
Empenhei o meu anel de rubi
I pawned my ruby ring
Para te levar ao concerto
To take you to the concert
Que havia no rivoli
That was at the Tivoli
E era a ti que eu mais queria
And it was only you that I wanted most
Ao meu lado no concerto nesse dia
By my side at the concert that day
Juntos no escuro de mão dada a ouvir
Together in the dark holding hands listening to
Aquela música maluca sempre a subir
That crazy music always rising
Mas tu não ficaste nem meia-hora
But you didn't stay half an hour
Não fizeste um esforço p′ra gostar e foste embora
You didn't make an effort to like it and you left
Contigo aprendi uma grande lição
With you I learned a great lesson
Não se ama alguém que não ouve a mesma canção
You don't love someone who doesn't listen to the same song
Mesmo sabendo que não gostavas
Even knowing that you didn't like it
Empenhei o meu anel de rubi
I pawned my ruby ring
Para te levar ao concerto
To take you to the concert
Que havia no rivoli
That was at the Tivoli
Foi nesse dia que percebi
It was on that day that I realized
Nada mais por nós havia a fazer
There was nothing more for us to do
A minha paixão por ti era um lume
My passion for you was a fire
Que não tinha mais lenha por onde arder
That had no more fuel to burn
Mesmo sabendo que não gostavas
Even knowing that you didn't like it
Empenhei o meu anel de rubi
I pawned my ruby ring
Para te levar ao concerto
To take you to the concert
Que havia no rivoli
That was at the Tivoli
