Paroles et traduction Jorge Palma - Passos Em Volta

Passos Em Volta

Quando o Sol chegou aos subúrbios da cidade
Anunciando mais um dia igual aos outros
Ele acordou e pressentiu
Que hoje o seu dia ia ser diferente

Sentiu nos lábios o sabor
Dum sorriso finalmente triunfante
Escorregou da cama
E contemplou o espelho sorridente

Acabou-se a incerteza dos seus passos em volta
Dum sentido que ele nunca encontrou
Pela primeira vez tinha o destino nas mãos
Desta vez ele não duvidou

Sentiu-se invadir por uma estranha lucidez
Que conduzia pelas calhas do passado
Serenamente descobriu
Que afinal tudo tinha o seu sentido

Levou o olhar a janela
Lá em baixo a rua estava abandonada
Levantou o fecho
E de repente alcançou a liberdade

Acabou-se a angústia dos seus passos em volta
Dum amor com que ele apenas sonhou
Pela primeira vez tinha o futuro nas mãos
Abriu a janela e voou...

Steps Around You

When the sun reached the suburbs of the city
Announcing another day like the others
He woke up and had a feeling
That today his day was going to be different

He felt the taste of a smile on his lips
Finally triumphant
He slipped out of bed
And gazed at the smiling mirror

The uncertainty of his steps around you is over
From a meaning he never found
For the first time, he had his destiny in his hands
This time he had no doubt

He felt overcome with a strange lucidity
That led through the gutters of the past
Serenely, he discovered
That, after all, everything had its meaning

He turned his gaze to the window
Below, the street was deserted
He lifted the latch
And suddenly he achieved freedom

The anguish of his steps around you is over
Of a love he only dreamed of
For the first time, he had his future in his hands
He opened the window and flew...
