Translation of the song Foram cardos, foram prosas artist Amor Electro

Portuguese

Foram cardos, foram prosas

English translation

They Were Thistle Blooms, They Were Proses

Há luz sem lume aceso,

There's light yet the lights are not on

Mas sem amar o calor

But, without loving heat

À flor dum fogo preso,

Very close to a captive passion,

À luz do meu claro amor!

By the light of my bright love!

Há madressilvas aos pés

There are honeysuckles on our feet

E águas lavam o rosto;

And waters wash our faces;

Dedos que tens em rés pés

You have your toes at foot level

Oh, meu amante deposto!

Oh, my ousted lover!

[Refrão:]

[Chorus:]

Será sempre a subir

It shall always be a climb

Ao cimo de ti,

To your very top,

Só para te sentir.

Just so I can feel you.

Será, do alto de mim,

It shall happen above me

Que um corpo só

That a single body

Exalta o seu fim!

Is extoling its own end!

Não foram poemas nem rosas

They weren't poems nor roses

Que colheste do meu colo;

That you picked from my neck;

Foram cardos, foram prosas

They were thistle blooms, they were proses

Arrancadas do meu solo!

Torn away from my own ground!

[Refrão:]

[Chorus:]

Será sempre a subir

It shall always be a climb

Ao cimo de ti,

To your very top,

Só para te sentir.

Just so I can feel you.

Será, do alto de mim,

It shall happen above me

Que um corpo só

That a single body

Exalta o seu fim!

Is extoling its own end!

Ah la, la, la... La, la, la, la-la...

Ah la, la, la... La, la, la, la-la...
