Текст и перевод песни Mafalda Arnauth - Milonga do Chiado

Milonga do Chiado

La vida, ay la vida
Ay los sueños
Los sueños, ay los sueños
Que murieron
Murieron, porque já no tienen vida
Quemados como globos de papel

Muy alto como globos que se alejan
Tan cerca como labios que besé
Perdido en el fuego de tu llanto
Que no deja pensar
No me suelta jamás, jamás

Ai como eu entendo
Que a tua saudade
Ainda guarde
As cinzas cruéis
Que recordam
Um tempo feliz
Também eu fiquei
Sem tanto que eu quis
Sem tudo o que amei
E sempre que eu volto aqui
Choro contigo o que foi amar

Yo se que es dificil
Lograr con distancia el olvido
Yo se que el olvido
Jamás llegara para mi
Que el tiempo es dolor
Peor que el alcohol
Peor que el amor
No se detiene jamás
No puedo volver atras, ni amar

Chiado's Milonga

My life, oh, my life!
Oh, my dreams!
My dreams, oh, my dreams,
Which have died.
They have died, because they no longer have life,
Burned like paper balloons.

So high, like balloons that drift away,
So close, like lips that I've kissed.
Lost in the fire of your tears,
Which won't let me think,
Which won't let me go, ever, ever.

Oh, how well I understand
That your longing
Still guards
The cruel ashes
That recall
A happy time.
I, too, was left
Without so much of what I wanted,
Without everything I loved.
And every time I come back here,
I cry with you over what it was to love.

I know that it's hard
To achieve oblivion with distance.
I know that oblivion
Will never come for me,
That time is pain,
Worse than alcohol,
Worse than love.
It never stops.
I can't go back, nor love again.
