Paroles et traduction Thamires Tannous - Desaviso

Desaviso

Quando a felicidade chegou
Me encontrou tão em desaviso
Que eu nem sei como foi que ela entrou
Nem bem por que se engraçou comigo

Eu não tirei no tarô
Eu não li no computador
Nenhum guru me falou
Nem vi se era frio ou calor
Só sei que quando chegou
Meu cabelo tava um horror! (ai ai!)

Deixei a felicidade lá
E saí pra lavar a cara
Como é que eu iria acreditar
Que era comum coisa assim tão rara

Com tanto anel de doutor
Com tanta receita de amor
Com tanto servo e senhor
Com tanto fiel e pastor
Com tanto ensinador
E eu, que só sei ser quem sou! (ai ai! Ai ai)

Saí pra estender a roupa
Felicidade seguiu
Pendurada na garoa
Pulando pedra de rio
Vestida de ventania
Se enrodilhou num varal
Desvairada
Disfarçada
De um momento que se soltou
Do nada

Unaware

When happiness finally arrived
It caught me so unaware
That I don't even know how it got in
Nor why it took a fancy to me

I didn't have a psychic reading
I didn't consult the internet
No guru told me
Nor did I check the weather forecast
I just know that when it came
My hair was a mess! (oh dear!)

I left happiness there
And went to wash my face
How was I to know
That something so rare was commonplace

With so many experts around
With so many love potions
With so many masters and servants
With so many followers and pastors
With so many teachers
And me, who only knows how to be myself! (oh dear! Oh dear!)

I went outside to hang the laundry
Happiness followed me
Hanging on the clothesline
Skipping stones in the river
Dressed in the wind
She curled up on a clothesline
Distraught
Disguised
As a moment that had slipped away
Out of nowhere
