Amália Rodrigues "Sombra" lyrics

Translation to:en it

Sombra

Bebi por tuas mãos esta loucuraDe não poder viver longe de tiÉs a noite, que à noite me procuraÉs a sombra da casa onde nasci

Deixa ficar comigo a madrugadaPara que a luz do sol me não constranjaNuma taça de sombra estilhaçadaDeita sumo de lua e de laranja

Só os frutos do céu que não existeSó os frutos da terra que me desteHão fazer-te ausência menos tristeTornar-me a solidão menos agreste

Vou recolher à casa onde nasciPor teus dedos de sombra edificadaNunca mais, nunca mais longe de tiSe comigo ficar a madrugada

Shade

From your hands did I drink this insanityThat forbids me from living apart from youYou are the night, that at night comes looking for meYou are the shade of the house where I was born, too

Let yourelf stay with me when breaks dawnMake the sunlight stop restraining meInto a cup of crumbled shadePour juice of moon and orange

Only the fruits of a sky that does not existOnly the fruits of the land you gave meHave the power of making you absence less sadOf turning my loneliness into something less harsh

I'll come back to the house where I was bornThat your fingers built out of shadeNever again, never again from you apartIf you stay with me when breaks dawn.
