Текст и перевод песни Arnaldo Antunes - As Árvores

As Árvores

Int.:

As árvores são fáceis de achar
Ficam plantadas no chão

Mamam do céu pelas folhas
E pela terra
Também bebem água
Cantam no vento
E recebem a chuva de galhos abertos

Há as que dão frutas
E as que dão frutos
As de copa larga
E as que habitam esquilos
As que chovem depois da chuva
As cabeludas, as mais jovens mudas
As árvores ficam paradas
Uma a uma enfileiradas
Na alameda
Crescem pra cima como as pessoas
Mas nunca se deitam
O céu aceitam
Crescem como as pessoas
Mas não são soltas nos passos
São maiores, mas
Ocupam menos espaço
Árvore da vida
Árvore querida
Perdão pelo coração
Que eu desenhei em você
Com o nome do meu amor.

Trees

Int.:

Dear, trees are easy to find,
They are planted in the ground.

They drink from the sky through their leaves,
And from the earth,
They also drink water,
They sing in the wind,
And they receive the rain with open branches.

There are those that bear fruit,
And those that bear nuts,
Those with wide canopies,
And those inhabited by squirrels,
Those that rain after the rain,
The hairy ones, the youngest saplings,
The trees stand still,
Lined up one by one,
In the mall,
They grow upwards like people,
But they never lie down,
They accept the sky,
They grow like people,
But they are not loose in their steps,
They are larger, but
They take up less space,
Tree of life,
Beloved tree,
Forgive me for the heart
That I drew on you,
With the name of my love.
