Paroles et traduction António Zambujo - Até Pensei

Até Pensei

Junto à minha rua
Havia um bosque
Que um muro alto
Proibia

Lá todo balão caia
Toda maçã nascia
E o dono do bosque
Nem via

Do lado de lá
Tanta aventura
E eu a espreitar
Na noite escura

A dedilhar esta modinha
A felicidade morava tão vizinha
Que, de tolo, até pensei
Que fosse minha

Junto a mim morava a minha amada
Com olhos claros como o dia
Lá o meu olhar vivia
De sonho e fantasia

E a dona dos olhos nem via
Do lado de lá tanta ventura
E eu a esperar pela ternura
Que a enganar nunca me vinha

Eu andava pobre
Tão pobre de carinho
Que, de tolo, até pensei
Que fosses minha

Toda a dor da vida
Me ensinou essa modinha
Que, de tolo, até pensei
Que fosse minha

Until I Thought

Beside my street
There was a forest
Which a high wall
Prohibited

There every balloon would fall
Every apple would grow
And the owner of the forest
Didn't even notice

On the other side
So much adventure
And I would peek
In the dark night

Plucking at this little song
Happiness lived so close next door
That, like a fool, I even thought
That it was mine

My beloved lived next to me
With eyes as clear as day
That's where my gaze would dwell
Of dreams and fantasy

And the owner of the eyes didn't even notice
On the other side so much bliss
And I would wait for the tenderness
That would deceitfully never come to me

I was poor
So poor in affection
That, like a fool, I even thought
That you were mine

All of life's pain
Taught me this little song
That, like a fool, I even thought
That it was mine
