Hi again - I have thought much about this song, about the context, and the intonation of the singer's voice.
Of course I cannot be sure, but I have a hunch that it is the song of a girl who is in the company of a man, who no longer loves her.
She is singing to him, about herself:
What a shame to be someone YOU no longer want
(you) do not see what is in front of your face
(I) sing for someone who hears nothing,
(I) dance for someone who does not want to see anything
My hands are tied,
My mouth is empty,
My feet are stuck,
In my throat is a lump.
(The last verse is difficult - still cryptic)
"Silence sits in the window"
(can 'window' also mean 'dialog" ?
And could "blank screen" also be a "blank canvas"
If so, then the last verse could read as:
There is a silence between us
Come on, drink some coffee
And while we are waiting,
we will see what the future will bring.
Still cryptic - but a very beautiful song.
Perhaps I should write to Adriana and ask her ? My only concern is that it may be part of her own personal story, and I want to be sensitive about that possibility ...
On-line Portugese to English translators are not very good - so I need the help of a human being ! Many thanks in advance.
