Erosao - Alceu Valença перевод на английский

Erosao

Roendo as unhas, Amélia
Lutava no pensamento
Pensando fosse possível
Fazer o tempo parar

Num quarto escuro, fechada
Com a chave da virgindade
Fora, o vento rói os montes
Na cama da erosão

Quem foge porque é noite
Não vê o dia raiar
Por mais que fuja traz presa
A madrugada no calcanhar

O relógio dá alarme
Despertador de Amélia
Jura ao velho travesseiro
Seus ponteiros acertar

Roendo as unhas, Amélia
Roendo as unhas, Amélia

Erosion

Biting her nails, Amélia
Was fighting within her thoughts
Thinking it was possible
To make time stand still

In a dark room, locked in
With the key to her virginity
Outside, the wind gnaws at the mountains
In the bed of erosion

He who runs away because it is night
Will not see the break of day
No matter how much he runs, he carries with him
The dawn at his heels

The clock rings out its alarm
Amélia's wake-up call
She swears to the old pillow
To set its hands right

Biting her nails, Amélia
Biting her nails, Amélia
