Paroles et traduction João Pedro Pais - Quando

Quando

Quando um homem chora
É porque apagou
Uma vela acesa
Que se transformou

Quando um homem grita
Silêncio adiou
A tristeza aflita
Que de mim voou

Se pudesse
Ser mais um ao luar
Se soubesse
Que na rua
Te ia ver dançar

Ia então
Dar-te a mão
Deixar-me embalar

Ia então
Dar-te a mão
Deixar-me embalar

Quando um homem erra
É porque ousou

Transformar a guerra
Num rasto de pó

Quando uma criança
Ao peito juntou
Um abraço imenso
Que tudo mudou

Se pudesse
Ser mais um ao luar
Se soubesse
Que na rua
Te ia ver dançar

Ia então
Dar-te a mão
Deixar-me embalar

Ia então
Dar-te a mão
Deixar-me embalar

Ia então
Dar-te a mão
Deixar-me embalar

Se pudesse
Ser mais um ao luar
Se soubesse
Que na rua
Te ia ver dançar

Ia então
Dar-te a mão
Deixar-me embalar

Ia então
Dar-te a mão
Deixar-me embalar

Ia então
Dar-te a mão
Deixar-me embalar
Deixar-me embalar

When

When a man cries
It is because he has blown out
A lit candle
Which has turned into

When a man screams
Silence has postponed
The sorrow afflicting
Which flies away from me

If I could
Be one more under the moonlight
If I knew
That in the street
I was going to see you dance

Then I would
Give you my hand
Let myself get carried away

Then I would
Give you my hand
Let myself get carried away

When a man is wrong
It is because he dared

To transform war
Into a trail of dust

When a child
Joined to his chest
A huge hug
That changed everything

If I could
Be one more under the moonlight
If I knew
That in the street
I was going to see you dance

Then I would
Give you my hand
Let myself get carried away

Then I would
Give you my hand
Let myself get carried away

Then I would
Give you my hand
Let myself get carried away

If I could
Be one more under the moonlight
If I knew
That in the street
I was going to see you dance

Then I would
Give you my hand
Let myself get carried away

Then I would
Give you my hand
Let myself get carried away

Then I would
Give you my hand
Let myself get carried away
Let myself get carried away
