Текст и перевод песни Cesária Évora - Ligereza

Ligereza

Quem sabe um dia
Se no ta podê
Inventa um nova folia
Pa tira-no dess loucura
Sem gosto e sem sabura

Talvês um dia
No ta fazê
Dess mundo
Um fantasia

Na seriedade no ta leva
Mod vida ca é banal
Na ligereza no ta vivê
Sem magoa sem ofendê ninguêm

Ja tem tonte mazela
Pa no suporta
Nos vivê
Nos revisa
Um brisa no procura
No issa vela
De nos amor

Amor ta ba
Amor ta bêm
No ta balança
Na sê vai-vem

TRADUCTION

Qui sait si un jour
Nous pourrons
Inventer une nouvelle folie
Pour nous tirer de cette démence
Sans goût et sans plaisir

Peut-être un jour
Ferons-nous
De ce monde
Une fantaisie

On se prend au sérieux
La vie n′est pas banale
Dans la légèreté nous vivrons
Sans peiner ni offenser quiconque

Il y a déjà tellement de malheurs
Que nous devons supporter
Nous vivons
Nous cherchons une brise
Nous hissons la voile
De notre amour

L'amour s′en va
L'amour s'en vient
Nous nous balançons
Dans ce va-et-vient

Carelessness

Who knows one day
If we can
Invent a new revelry
To get us out of this madness
Without taste and without pleasure

Maybe one day
We will make
Of this world
A fantasy

We take ourselves too seriously
Life is not trivial
We will live in lightness
Without hurting or offending anyone

There are already so many misfortunes
That we must endure
We are living
We are revising
We are looking for a breeze
We are setting sail
Of our love

Love goes away
Love comes back
We are swinging
In its back and forth

TRANSLATION

Who knows if one day
We will be able to
Invent a new folly
To get us out of this madness
Tasteless and joyless

Perhaps one day
We will make
Of this world
A fantasy

We take ourselves too seriously
Life is not banal
We will live in lightness
Without hurting or offending anyone

There are already so many troubles
We can bear
We are living
We are searching for a breeze
We are hoisting the sail
Of our love

Love goes
Love comes
We are balancing
In its ebb and flow
