Paroles et traduction Zé Renato - Mascarada

Mascarada

Vejo agora
Este teu lindo olhar
Olhar que eu sonhei
Que sonhei conquistar
E que um dia afinal conquistei enfim
Findou-se o carnaval
E só nos carnavais
Encontrava-te, sei
Encontrar este teu lindo olhar, porque
Um poeta era eu
Onde as rimas eram compostas
Na esperança de que
Tirasses esta mascara
Que sempre me fez mal
Mal que findou
Só depois do carnaval

Masquerade

I see now
This beautiful gaze of yours
A gaze I dreamt of
That I dreamt of winning
And that one day after all, I finally won
This carnival has ended
And only at carnivals
I could find you, you know
Finding this beautiful gaze of yours, because
I was a poet
Where rhymes were composed
In the hope that
You would remove this mask
That always hurt me
Pain that ended
Only after the carnival
