Translation of the song Enquanto Durmo artist Zélia Duncan

Muitas perguntas que afundas de respostas

So many questions, plunged by you in answers,

Não afastam minhas duvidas

Can't drive my doubts away

Me afogo longe de mim

I let myself drown far from my body

Não me salvo porque nao me acho

I don't save myself, for I can't find myself

Não me acalmo porque nao me vejo

I can't calm down, for I don't see myself

Percebo até, mas desaconselho

I have a hint of it, but I encourage no one to look at

Espero a chuva cair

I wait for the rain to come down

Na minha casa, no meu rosto

At my house, over my face

Nas minhas costas largas

Over my broad backs

Espero a chuva cair

I wait for the rain to come down

Nas minhas costas largas

Over my broad backs

Que afagas enquanto durmo,

That you caress while I'm sleeping

Enquanto durmo, enquanto durmo...

While I'm sleeping

De longe parece mais fácil,

From a distance, it looks easier,

Fragil é se aproximar

It lacks courage to come near, though

Mas eu chego, eu cobro

But I do come near, I demand what I feel like to,

Eu dobro teus conselhos

I 'tame' your advices

Não me salvo porque nao me acho

I don't save myself, for I can't find myself

Não me acalmo porque nao me vejo

I can't calm down, for I don't see myself

Percebo até, mas desaconselho

I have a hint of it, but I encourage no one to look at

Espero a chuva cair

I wait for the rain to come down

Na minha casa, no meu rosto

At my house, over my face

Nas minhas costas largas

Over my broad backs

Espero a chuva cair

I wait for the rain to come down

Nas minhas costas largas

Over my broad backs

Que afagas enquanto durmo,

That you caress while I'm sleeping

Enquanto durmo, enquanto durmo...

While I'm sleeping
