O Som Da Despedida Lyrics English Translation by Luísa Sonza
The always, sleepless
A thundering silence
No lap to cry on, no crying
Burned without a fire
The shadow, the slumbering night
Stopped on the stairs
Her hands were cold
A serene dawn
In her chest, only revelry
She had nothing
Just an empty house
And she felt ashamed
Of the mistakes, the choices
She didn’t see a person
The scream against the pillowcase
And she was decided, yeah-eh-eh
And she was decided, before time
Before time
Before time could, she made it past, yeah-eh-eh
Before time could, she made it past, yeah-eh-eh
Before anyone could avoid the inevitable, eh-yeah-eh
She made herself past, eh-yeah
And the day would arrive
Time to work
And through the curtain
She saw only a thrush
The sound of farewell
He went to listen
She was still living
And learned to fly
