Paroles et traduction Nana Caymmi - Ate Pensei

Ate Pensei

Junto à minha rua havia um bosque
Que um muro alto proibia
Lá todo balão caía, toda maçã nascia
E o dono do bosque nem via

Do lado de lá, tanta aventura
E eu, a espreitar na noite escura, a dedilhar essa modinha
A felicidade morava tão vizinha
Que, de tolo, até pensei que fosse minha

Junto a mim, morava a minha amada
Com olhos claros como o dia
Lá o meu olhar vivia, de sonho e fantasia
A dona dos olhos nem via

Do lado de lá, tanta aventura
E eu, a esperar pela ternura, que enganar nunca me vinha
Eu andava pobre, tão pobre de carinho
Que, de tolo, até pensei que fosses minha

Junto a minha rua havia um bosque
Que um muro alto proibia
Lá todo balão caía, toda maçã nascia
E o dono do bosque nem via

Do lado de lá, tanta aventura
E eu, a espreitar na noite escura, a dedilhar essa modinha
A felicidade morava tão vizinha
Que, de tolo, até pensei que fosse minha

Junto a mim, morava a minha amada
Com olhos claros como o dia
Lá o meu olhar vivia, de sonho e fantasia
A dona dos olhos nem via

Do lado de lá, tanta aventura
E eu, a esperar pela ternura, que enganar nunca me vinha
Eu andava pobre, tão pobre de carinho
Que, de tolo, até pensei que fosses minha

Toda a dor da vida, me ensinou essa modinha
Que, de tolo, até pensei que fosse minha

Ate Pensei

Near my street there was a forest
That a high wall forbade
There every balloon fell, every apple was born
And the owner of the forest never saw it

On the other side, so much adventure
And me, peeking out into the dark night, strumming this tune
Happiness lived so close
That, like a fool, I thought it was mine

Next to me, there lived my beloved
With eyes as clear as day
There my gaze lived, in dreams and fantasies
The owner of the eyes never saw

On the other side, so much adventure
And me, waiting for the tenderness, that never came to deceive me
I was poor, so poor in affection
That, like a fool, I thought you were mine

Near my street there was a forest
That a high wall forbade
There every balloon fell, every apple was born
And the owner of the forest never saw it

On the other side, so much adventure
And me, peeking out into the dark night, strumming this tune
Happiness lived so close
That, like a fool, I thought it was mine

Next to me, there lived my beloved
With eyes as clear as day
There my gaze lived, in dreams and fantasies
The owner of the eyes never saw

On the other side, so much adventure
And me, waiting for the tenderness, that never came to deceive me
I was poor, so poor in affection
That, like a fool, I thought you were mine

All the pain of life, taught me this tune
That, like a fool, I thought it was mine
