Lea - Gabi Buarque traduction en anglais

Lea

Ela acorda todo dia com a falta
Ela pede toda noite sua volta
Ela contorna o frio se engabela
Espia pelo espelho aquela
Dona de toda mazela

Ela ensaia um "bom dia" sem resposta
Ela ouve "boa noite" pela porta
Ela combina a saia amarela
Espera e senta na janela
Assiste à chuva na aquarela

Ela anseia pelo dia de outrora
Ela parte meia-noite e demora
Ela compõe a vida numa tela
Enfeita, inventa, se revela
De todas elas a mais bela

Ela esbanja ousadia, ela chora
Ela teme o sonoite, mas melhora
Ela costura a rosa na lapela
Esquece de si mesma, apela
Por outro fim da sua novela

Lea

She wakes up every day missing him
Every night she asks for his return
She bypasses the cold, deceives herself
She spies in the mirror that woman
Owner of all the pain

She rehearses a "good morning" without a reply
She hears "good night" through the door
She pairs her yellow skirt
Waits and sits by the window
Watches the rain in the watercolor

She yearns for the days of yore
She leaves at midnight and takes her time
She composes life on a canvas
Decorates, invents, reveals herself
Of all of them, the most beautiful

She exudes boldness, she cries
She fears the nightfall, but gets better
She sews the rose on her lapel
Forgets herself, appeals
For another ending to her story
