António Zambujo "Cecília" lyrics

Translation to:enes

Cecília

Quantos artistasEntoam baladasPara suas amadasCom grandes orquestrasComo os invejoComo os admiroEu, que te vejoE nem quase respiro

Quantos poetasRomânticos, prosasExaltam suas musasCom todas as letrasEu te murmuroEu te suspiroEu, que soletroTeu nome no escuro

Me escutas, Cecília?Mas eu te chamava em silêncioNa tua presençaPalavras são brutas

Pode ser que, entreabertosMeus lábios de leveTremessem por tiMas nem as sutis melodiasMerecem, Cecília, teu nomeEspalhar por aíComo tantos poetasTantos cantoresTantas CecíliasCom mil refletoresEu, que não digoMas ardo de desejoTe olhoTe guardoTe sigoTe vejo dormir

Cecilia

How many artistsSing balladsFor their loved onesWith great orchestrasHow I envy themHow I admire themI that I see youAnd I hardly breathe

How many poetsRomantic, prosaicExalt their musesWith all the lettersI whisper to youI sigh to youI, who spellYour name in the dark

Are you listening to me, Cecilia?But I was calling you in silence.In your presenceWords are crude.

It may be that, partedMy lips lightenTremble for youBut neither the subtle melodiesYou deserve, Cecilia, you nameSpreads outHow many poetsSo many singersSo many CeciliasWith a thousand reflectionsI do not sayBut I burn with desireI look at youI keep youI follow youI watch you sleep.
