Red

Portuguese → English translation for the song "Vermelho" by Vanessa da Mata lyrics.

Portuguese

Vermelho

Gostar de ver você sorrir
Gastar das horas pra te ver dormir
Enquanto o mundo roda em vão
Eu tomo o tempo

O velho gasta solidão
Em meio aos pombos na Praça da Sé
O pôr do Sol invade o chão do apartamento

Vermelhos são seus beijos
Que meigos são seus olhos
Ver que tudo pode retroceder
Que aquele velho pode ser eu
No fundo da alma há solidão
E um frio que suplica um aconchego

Vermelhos são seus beijos
Quase que me queimam
Que meigo são seus olhos
Lânguida face

Seus beijos são vermelhos
Quase que me queimam
Que meigos são seus olhos
Lânguida face

English

Red

I enjoy to see you smile
And spend the hours watching you sleep
While the world around us spins in vain
I take my time

The old man wastes his solitude
Among the pigeons at Praça da Sé
The sun rays of the twilight spreads over the apartment's floor

Your kisses are red
And your eyes are so tender
Recognize that everything can go back
And I can be that old man
At the bottom of everybody's soul
There lies loneliness
And a coldness that begs for comfort

Your kisses are red
They almost burn me
And your eyes are so tender
In your disheartened face

Your kisses are red
They almost burn me
And your eyes are so tender
In your disheartened face
