Roberto Carlos "O Portão" lyrics

Translation to:en

O Portão

Eu cheguei em frente ao portãoMeu cachorro me sorriu latindoMinhas malas coloquei no chãoEu voltei

Tudo estava igual como era antesQuase nada se modificouAcho que só eu mesmo mudeiE voltei

Eu volteiAgora pra ficarPorque aquiAqui é o meu lugarEu voltei pras coisas que eu deixeiEu voltei

Fui abrindo a porta devagarMas deixei a luz entrar primeiroTodo meu passado ilumineiE entrei

Meu retrato ainda na paredeMeio amarelado pelo tempoComo a perguntar por onde andeiE eu falei

Onde andei não deu para ficarPorque aquiAqui é o meu lugar

Eu voltei pras coisas que eu deixeiEu voltei

Sem saber depois de tanto tempoSe havia alguém a minha esperaPassos indecisos caminheiE parei

Quando vi que dois braços abertosMe abraçaram como antigamenteTanto quis dizer e não faleiE chorei

Eu volteiAgora pra ficarPorque aquiAqui é o meu lugar

The Gate

I got to the gateMy dog smiled to me, barkingMy lugagge, I put on the groundI came back

Everything was like it was beforeAlmost nothing was changedI think it's just me who changedAnd I came back

I came backNow, to stayBecause thisThis is where I belongI came back to what I've left behindI came back

I opened the door slowlyBut I let the light in firstAll my past I illuminatedAnd I got in

My portrait still on the wallSlightly yellowed by timeAs if asking me where I've beenAnd I said

Where I've been I couldn't stayBecause thisThis is where I belong

I came back for what I've left behindI came back

Without knowing, after all this timeIf there was someone waiting for meUnsure steps I tookAnd I came to a halt

When I saw that a pair of opened armsHugged me as they used toSo much I wanted to say, but I didn'tAnd I cried

I came backNow, to stayBecause thisThis is where I belong
