Paroles et traduction Mariza - Por Tanto Te Amar

Por Tanto Te Amar

Tentei-te falar do sol que sempre nasce
Do tempo que correr faz com que a dor passe
Mas nada nos teus olhos brilha
Sobre este mundo e as suas maravilhas
Tentei-te falar da água das fontes
Deste verde prado e do cume dos montes
Mas nada no teu corpo acorda
O mundo tem-te numa corda
Tu queres-te soltar como os navios
Para uma viagem sem regresso
Falas-me da dor dos dias frios
E do amor que te ardeu o avesso
Tu queres-te soltar com os navios
Com um adeus e nada a acrescentar
Dos meus olhos correm mil rios
Mas deixo-te ir por tanto te amar
Tentei-te falar da neve nas colinas
Do amor que ao chegar faz sorrir as meninas
Mas nada no teu peito pede
O mundo matou-te de sede
Tentei-te falar das flores lá das ribeiras
Dos versos dos cantores e do calor das fogueiras
Mas nada te devolve o norte
A vida entregou-te a morte

So Much for Loving You

I tried to tell you about the sun that always rises
About time's running heals the pain
But nothing in your eyes shines
About this world and its wonders
I tried to tell you about the water in the fountains
Of this green field and the top of the mountains
But nothing in your body awakens
The world has you on a string
You want to break free like ships
For a journey with no return
You tell me about the pain of cold days
And of the love that has burned your heart
You want to break free with the ships
With a farewell and nothing to add
A thousand rivers flow from my eyes
But I let you go because I love you so much
I tried to tell you about the snow in the hills
About the love that makes girls smile when they arrive
But nothing in your chest asks
The world has quenched your thirst
I tried to tell you about the flowers in the streams
Of the verses of the singers and the warmth of the fires
But nothing gives you back the north
Life has handed you over to death
