Текст и перевод песни Luísa Sobral - Mesma Rua Mesmo Lado

Mesma Rua Mesmo Lado

Eram os dois da mesma aldeia
Mesma rua, mesmo largo
Mesmo jeito de criança
Mesmo olhar envergonhado

Havia até quem dizia
Que eram uma só pessoa
Pois só se separavam
À noite quando chegavam
À rua onde moravam

Mas o tempo foi passando
Com ele o jeito de criança
E aquela uma só pessoa
Já era quase só lembrança

Ele esperava por ela
Mas ela tinha outros planos
Tinha encontrado o amor
Amor que ele conhecia
Há tantos, tantos anos

Foi da janela do quarto
Que a viu sair para o casamento
Chorou como se estivesse
No altar naquele momento

E foi dizendo bem baixinho
Que prometia ser fiel
E a ali naquele momento
Sentiu o toque dela
E lhe deu o anel

Preferiu viver sozinho
Para se ela quisesse voltar
Mesmo quando bem velhinho
Não se cansou de esperar

Sabia que ela estava longe
Mas não deixou de acreditar
Que um dia ela viveria
Na mesma aldeia
Mesma rua, mesmo lado
Mesmo lar

Same Street, Same Side

We were both from the same village
Same street, same square
Same childish ways
Same bashful glance

Some even said
That we were one and the same
For we parted ways only
At night when we reached
The street where we lived

But time went by
And with it, our childish ways
And that one and the same
Was now but a memory

He waited for her
But she had other plans
She had found love
A love that he knew
For so, so many years

It was from the window of his room
That he saw her leaving for her wedding
He cried as if he were
At the altar at that moment

And it was while whispering quietly
That he promised to be faithful
And there and then
He felt her touch
And she gave him the ring

He preferred to live alone
So that if she wanted to return
Even when he was very old
He would not tire of waiting

He knew that she was far away
But he did not stop believing
That one day she would live
In the same village
Same street, same side
Same home
