Lyrics and translation Tom Zé - Sofro de Juventude




Sofro de Juventude
Suffering From Youth
Solidão...
Loneliness...
Solidão...
Loneliness...
Que poeira leve
Such light dust
Solidão
Loneliness
Olhe a casa é sua
Look, the house is yours
O telefo...
The telephone...
Solidão
Loneliness
Que poeira leve
Such light dust
Solidão
Loneliness
Olhe a casa é sua
Look, the house is yours
E no meu descompasso
And in my untimely rhythm
O riso dela
Her laughter
Na vida quem perde o telhado
In life, whoever loses their roof
Em troca recebe as estrelas
Receives the stars in return
Pra rimar até se afogar
To rhyme until they choke
E de soluço em soluço esperar
And from hiccup to hiccup, wait
O sol que sobe na cama
For the sun that rises in bed
E acende o lençol
And brightens the sheet
lhe chamando
Only calling your name
Solicitando
Imploring
Solidão
Loneliness
Que poeira leve...
Such fine dust...
Se ela nascesse rainha
If she were born a queen
Se o mundo pudesse agüentar
If the world could bear it
Os pobres ela pisaria
She would trample on the poor
E os ricos iria humilhar.
And humiliate the rich.
Milhares de guerras faria
She would make a thousand wars
Pra se deleitar
To indulge herself
Por isso eu prefiro
That's why I prefer
Cantar sozinho...
To sing alone...
Solidão
Loneliness
Que poeira leve
Such fine dust
Solidão
Loneliness
Olhe a casa é sua
Look, the house is yours
O telefone chamou, foi engano...
The telephone rang, it was a mistake...
Solidão
Loneliness
Que poeira leve
Such fine dust
Olhe a casa é sua
Look, the house is yours
E no meu descompasso
And in my untimely rhythm
Passo o riso dela
I pass on her laughter
Solidão
Loneliness
Que poeira leve
Such fine dust
Solidão
Loneliness
Olhe a casa é sua
Look, the house is yours
O telefone chamou, foi engano...
The telephone rang, it was a mistake...
