Paroles et traduction José Afonso - Contos Velhinhos

Contos Velhinhos

Contos velhinhos de amor
Numa noite branca e fria
Tantos trago para contar
São pétalas duma flor
Desfolhadas ao luar
Contos velhinhos de amor
Numa noite branca e fria
Tantos trago para contar

Contos velhinhos os meus
São contos iguais a tantos
Que tantos já nos contaram
São saudades de um adeus
De sonhos que já passaram
Contos velhinhos os meus
São contos iguais a tantos
Que tantos já nos contaram

Old Tales

Old tales of love
On a cold and snowy night
I have so many to tell you
They are petals of a flower
Scattered by the moonlight
Old tales of love
On a cold and snowy night
I have so many to tell you

My old tales
Are tales like many others
That many have already told us
They are longings for a farewell
For dreams that have already passed
My old tales
Are tales like many others
That many have already told us
