Текст и перевод песни Luiz Tatit - A Companheira

A Companheira

Eu ia saindo, ela estava ali, no portão da frente
Ia até o bar, ela quis ir junto
Tudo bem, eu disse, ela ficou super contente
Falava bastante, o que não faltava era assunto
Sempre ao meu lado, não se afastava um segundo
Uma companheira que ia a fundo

Onde eu ia, ela ia
Onde olhava, ela estava
Quando eu ria, ela ria
Não falhava

No dia seguinte ela estava ali, no portão da frente
Ia trabalhar, ela quis ir junto
Avisei que lá o pessoal era muito exigente
Ela nem se abalou, o que eu não souber eu pergunto
E lançou na hora mais um argumento profundo
Iria comigo até o fim do mundo

Me esperava no portão
Me encontrava, dava a mão
Me chateava, sim ou não?
Não

De repente a vida ganhou sentido
Companheira assim nunca tinha tido
O que pinta sempre é uma coisa estranha
É companheira que não acompanha

Isso pra mim é felicidade
Achar alguém assim na cidade
Como uma letra pra melodia
Fica do lado, faz companhia

Pensava nisso quando ela ali, no portão da frente
Me viu pensando, quis pensar junto
Pensar é um ato tão particular do indivíduo
E ela, na hora: particular, é? Dúvido
E como de fato eu não tinha lá muita certeza
Entrei na dela, senti firmeza

Eu pensava até um ponto
Ela entrava sem confronto
Eu fazia o contraponto
E pronto

Pensar assim virou uma arte
Uma canção feita em parceria
Primeira parte, segunda parte
Volta o refrão e acabou a teoria

Pensamos muito por toda a tarde
Eu começava, ela prosseguia
Chegamos mesmo, modestia à parte
A uma pequena filosofia

Foi nessa noite que bem ali, no portão da frente
Eu fiquei triste, ela ficou junto
E a melancolia foi tomando conta da gente
Desintegrados, éramos nada em conjunto
Quem nos olhava, só via dois vagabundos
Andando assim, meio moribundos

Eu tombava numa esquina
Ela caia por cima
Um coitado e uma dama
Dois na lama

Mas durou pouco, foi só uma noite
E felizmente
Eu sarei logo, ela sarou junto
E a euforia bateu em cheio na gente
Sentíamos ter toda felicidade do mundo
Olhava a cidade e achava a coisa mais linda
E ela achava mais linda ainda

Eu fazia uma poesia
Ela lia, declamava
Qualquer coisa que eu escrevia
Ela amava

Isso também durou só um dia
Chegou a noite, acabou a alegria
Voltou a fria realidade
Aquela coisa bem na metade

Mas nunca a metade foi tão inteira
Uma medida que se supera
Metade, ela era companheira
Outra metade, era eu que era

Nunca a metade foi tão inteira
Uma medida que se supera
Metade, ela era companheira
Outra metade, era eu que era

The Companion

I was leaving, she was there, at the front gate
I was going to the bar, she wanted to come along
Alright, I said, she was super happy
She talked a lot, there was no shortage of topics
Always by my side, she wouldn't leave for a second
A companion who went all the way

Wherever I went, she went
Wherever I looked, she was there
When I laughed, she laughed
She never failed

The next day she was there, at the front gate
I was going to work, she wanted to come along
I warned her that the people there were very demanding
She wasn't fazed, "What I don't know, I'll ask"
And she immediately launched another profound argument
She would go with me to the end of the world

She would wait for me at the gate
She would meet me, give me her hand
Did she annoy me, yes or no?
No

Suddenly life made sense
I had never had a companion like that
What always comes up is a strange thing
It's a companion who doesn't accompany

This is happiness for me
To find someone like that in the city
Like a lyric to a melody
Stays by my side, keeps me company

I was thinking about this when she was there, at the front gate
She saw me thinking, she wanted to think along
Thinking is such a particular act of the individual
And she, right away: "Particular, huh? I doubt it"
And since I didn't really have much certainty
I went with her flow, I felt firmness

I would think up to a point
She would come in without confrontation
I would make the counterpoint
And that's it

Thinking like that became an art
A song made in partnership
First part, second part
The chorus comes back and the theory is over

We thought a lot throughout the afternoon
I would start, she would continue
We even reached, modesty aside
A small philosophy

It was that night that right there, at the front gate
I was sad, she was sad along
And melancholy was taking over us
Disintegrated, we were nothing together
Whoever looked at us, only saw two vagabonds
Walking like that, half dead

I would fall on a corner
She would fall on top
A poor man and a lady
Two in the mud

But it didn't last long, it was just one night
And fortunately
I'll get better soon, she got better along
And euphoria hit us hard
We felt like we had all the happiness in the world
I looked at the city and thought it was the most beautiful thing
And she thought it was even more beautiful

I would write a poem
She would read it, recite it
Anything I wrote
She loved it

This also only lasted a day
Night came, the joy ended
Cold reality returned
That thing right in the middle

But never was the half so whole
A measure that surpasses itself
Half, she was a companion
The other half, it was me

Never was the half so whole
A measure that surpasses itself
Half, she was a companion
The other half, it was me
