Porto Here So Close

Go, train, my train
Full speed ahead
Only stop when we get to the city!

Hello, city of Porto
The tear in the corner of the eye
It has been shut for ages with a bolt

It cost so much to get here
A thousand and one incidents
When least expected, the devil weaves them

Oh, I was almost dead in the desert
And Porto here so close

Not long after arriving, I caught a glimpse of
Two thieves
Going through my letterbox

Ah, rascals, I caught you
Red-handed
Surely you don't expect me to compromise

It is not what you think
We came to bring you a message
That was given to us by a skulking man

Oh, I was almost dead in the desert
And Porto here so close

The message says:
In the Palace there are varieties
If you go there, you'll see that you'll kill your longing

Me, I don't like to kill
But longing is different
It's like killing fleas, it relieves people

I got there and I came across
A skulking woman
I told her: Stop with this bullfighting

Oh, I was almost dead in the desert
And Porto here so close

We revealed our faces, come on
And by the way, spit it out
With that hood, you look like a witch

Tell me what you're doing here
I play there with the attractions
In the ensemble of 'Godinho e seus Godões'

I've been on to you for how long
I didn't set my eyes on you
Tell me whether you are or are not Etelvina

Oh, I was almost dead in the desert
And Porto here so close

I am Etelvina, yes sir
Don't tell me, Etelvina
That you walk around like this because you're on the run

On the run? You're not OK
Me, a fugitive? Never
This outfit is just to add suspense

I'm a singer in the ensemble
And we appear disguised
And the audience gets creeped out

Oh, I was almost dead in the desert
And Porto here so close

But in life it's different
I walk with my face uncovered
With my head and my senses well aware

I've seen many injustices
I speak from within me
And what comes out from here inside me comes out like this:

I make music for the people
And you, the people, give back
You inspire me sharps and flats

Oh, I was almost dead in the desert
And Porto here so close

And I too do the same
With what the people give me
The Do-Re-Mi plus the La are free

I spent the whole night there
Getting into the improvisation
Regenerating my body and heart

Oh, I was almost dead in the desert
And Porto here so close

Gunnar Wiklund - Jag Ser en Värld versuri traducere în engleză

03.03.2025

I See a World

A day might turn out grey
Even though the sky is blue
At that moment I can see
My life the way it is

I see a world that's controlled inside dreams
It's empty wherever I look
I see a world in my own way
And am still surprised by everything I see

But what I'm feeling will always remain
I stand above all of Earth without any words as though in a haze
I see a world

A day we remember
Could easily become light like a sky
A day we might get to see
To, oh, to maybe get to give

I see the world take on a new form
When my dreams now has passed
I see a world that you grant me
Exactly the kind of life I've missed and longed to have

A wonder that always brings light of the future
Every day that passes becomes long years
And I see, I see my world

Giovanna - Mi sento abbandonata versuri traducere în engleză

I feel abandoned

In this crazy life I’m living,
I can’t find any free time.
There’s no space for love,
But I realize that…

I feel abandoned without you,
Uncomfortable around people,
And I don’t know how to talk anymore.
Who knows
What it is,
This thing inside me?
But I feel abandoned.
I feel abandoned without you,
And I never get back on my feet
Until you’re near me.
You have no idea
What I go through
When you’re not here.
But I feel abandoned.
I keep thinking about you nonstop,
And as a result, I can't get anything done.
I realize that it all depends on you.
But I feel abandoned.
I feel abandoned.

Who knows
What it is,
This thing inside me?
But I feel abandoned.
I keep thinking about you nonstop,
And as a result, I can't get anything done.
I realize that it all depends on you.
But I feel abandoned.
I feel abandoned.
I feel abandoned.
I feel… abandoned.

Sylvie Vartan - C'est une drôle de façon versuri traducere în engleză

That’s a Funny Way

[Frankie Jordan]
On one rainy day
I noticed you on Rue d’Auteuil1
[Sylvie Vartan]
Yes
[Frankie Jordan]
With an umbrella
That you jabbed in my eye
[Sylvie Vartan]
Hey now
[Frankie Jordan]
That’s a funny way, yes
That’s a funny way
[Sylvia Vartan]
Hey
[Frankie Jordan]
That’s a funny way
To catch a boy’s eye

[Sylvie Vartan]
You know, you know, wait
I told you “I’m afraid of going home tonight
I live in an awfully dark back alley”
That’s a funny way
That’s a funny way
That’s a funny way
To bring you to my house

[Frankie Jordan]
Not to mention, look what you did
You put your arm under mine (hey now)
I followed your lead
And we meandered about
Neither you nor I was truly in a hurry to get there

[Sylvie Vartan]
But at my doorstep
I curtly told you
“I have to go right now
My mother is waiting for me”
That’s a funny way
Yes, that’s a funny way
Hmm! That’s a mean way
To make a boy suffer
But I smiled as I said it
And it was then you understood
That I was only teasing you
And in the end you’re the one, you’re the one I married

[Frankie Jordan]
Since that night, I haven’t left your side
And every day, I’m right beside you
That’s a funny way, yes
Oh! That’s a funny way (hey)
But the best way for me
To say goodbye to my bachelor days2

[Sylvie Vartan]
A funny way

[Frankie Jordan - spoken]
So now you can say so, because you remember the Rue d’Auteuil, and it was quite a hit I took,
I swear, you took your umbrella and….

1. a public street in the 16th arrondissement of Paris
2. literally ’to bury my life as a boy’
