Paroles et traduction Chico Buarque - Até Pensei

Até Pensei

Junto à minha rua havia um bosque
Que um muro alto proibia
Lá todo balão caía, 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 essa 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 aventura
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

Thought About It

Beside my street was a forest
Whose high wall forbade
Where all balloons would fall, every apple grew
And the forest's owner, he never knew
Adventure abounded beyond its gate
And I would watch and wait
In the darkness of night, strumming this little tune
Happiness lived so close to me
That, like a fool, I thought it could be mine
My love lived near me
Her eyes as bright as the day
There my gaze would stay
In dreams and fantasies
And the owner of those eyes, she never knew
Adventure abounded beyond its gate
And I would wait for the affection
That eluded me
I was poor, so poor in love
That, like a fool, I thought you could be mine
All the pain of life taught me this little tune
That, like a fool, I thought could be mine
