Translation of the song Beijo Roubado artist Cesária Évora

Dizem que beijo roubado

It was told that to steal a kiss

Embora seja de amor

Even if it is a love kiss

É crime na terra,

It is a crime on earth

No céu é pecado

And a sin in heaven

Faz o homem

And It (to steal a kiss) changes men

Criminoso e pecador

into a thief and a sinner

Para mim está tudo errado,

But in my opinion that’s wrong

Beijo roubado tem mais calor

There is more passion in a stolen kiss

Quantos beijos

How many kisses

Eu ganhei do meu amor

My Love has given to me ?

Eu não contei,

I haven’t counted them

nem ele contou

and neither has him

Mas nem um beijo foi mais beijo

But there was no more important kiss

Que o primeiro beijo

Than the first one

Que eu fingi negar

That I feigned to say no

E ele roubou

And he stole it from me
