Текст и перевод песни Djavan - Minha Mãe

Minha Mãe

O descampado se via
E eu de esperar
Tava morta
Com jeito de agonia
Eu me encostava na porta

A disfarçar a barriga
Dos risos dá fantasia
Fingindo ter nós meus olhos
Um Sol que nunca podia

Via passar procissões
E os velhos nós caramanchões
Via passar esses dias
Como se fossem dobrados

Ardia em mim
Esse filho
Como se fosse pecado
Filho do pecado

My Mother

I saw the vacant lot,
and waited.
She was dead,
with the face of agony.
I leaned against the door,

hiding my belly
with laughter and fantasy.
Pretending that in my eyes
there was a sun that never could be.

I saw processions go by
and the old people in their arbours.
I saw those days go by
as if they were doubled.

It burned in me,
this child,
as if it were a sin,
the child of sin.
