Paroles et traduction Amália Rodrigues - Procura

Procura

Corri a terra, o mar, o céu azul
Dentro e fora de mim, de norte a sul
O que buscava assim não sabia
Pedia-me mentiras e sorria.

Se passava entre flores ali ficava
E a beijos que me disse me emprestava
Mas nenhuma das flores era a flor
E nenhum dos amores era o amor.

O que buscava assim não sabia
Pedia-me mentiras e sorria
Quantos caminhos andados e perdidos
Nos caminhos mortais dos meus sentidos.

E um dia o da verdade veio a mim
E agora já me dou princípio e fim
Sou toda cicatrizes e cansaços
Mas tenho enfim o abraço dos tens braços.

Searching

I ran the earth, the sea, the blue sky
Within and without me, from north to south
I did not know what I was looking for
I asked for lies and smiled.

If I passed through flowers I stayed there
And to the kisses that it told me it lent me
But none of the flowers was the flower
And none of the loves was love.

I did not know what I was looking for
I asked for lies and smiled
How many paths walked and lost
On the mortal paths of my senses.

And one day the truth came to me
And now I give birth to myself and an end
I am all scars and weariness
But I finally have the embrace of your arms.
