Dulce Pontes "Gaivota" lyrics

Translation to:enit

Gaivota

Se uma gaivota viesseTrazer-me o céu de LisboaNo desenho que fizesseNesse céu onde o olharÉ uma asa que não voaEsmorece e cai no mar

Que perfeito coraçãoNo meu peito bateriaMeu amor na tua mãoNessa mão onde cabiaPerfeito o meu coração

Se um português marinheiroDos sete mares andarilhoFosse quem sabe o primeiroA contar-me o que inventasseSe esse olhar de novo brilhoAo meu olhar se enlaçasse

Que perfeito coraçãoNo meu peito bateriaMeu amor na tua mãoNessa mão onde cabiaPerfeito o meu coração

Se ao dizer adeus à vidaAs aves todas do céuMe dessem na despedidaO teu olhar derradeiroEsse olhar que era só teuAmor que foste o primeiro

Que perfeito coraçãoNo meu peito morreriaMeu amor na tua mãoNessa mão onde perfeitoBateu o meu coração

Gull

If only a gull could comeand bring the sky of Lisbon to meBy the tracing of its wingsAlong this sky where my eyes,Like wings unable to fly,Sadden and fall down over the sea

The most perfect heartI would feel beating in my chest.It would be beating in your hand, my love,That hand in which my heartPerfectly nestled one time

If only a portuguese sailor,Driffter of the seven seas,Could be, who knows, the first oneto tell me anything in his mind.If only a look with a new glowcould at least meet mine now.

The most perfect heartI would feel beating in my chest.It would be beating in your hand, my loveThat hand in which my heartPerfectly nestled one time

If only all the birds in the sky,When I say life goodbye,Could grant me at the partingThe last look in your eyes,That look that only you hadYou, the first love of my life

The most perfect heartI would feel, dying in my chest.It would die in your hand, my loveThat hand in which my heartPerfectly was beating one timeThat hand in which my heartPerfectly was beating one time
