Portuguese songs

There were some very good songs written in English from the Portuguese lyrics suggested. This one turned ou very good. It's the known song from Clã, "Sopro do Coração" with lyrics by Sérgio Godinho.

This was João Simplício's work, from 10ºJ.

“In The Breath Of The Heart” By Clã


Yes, love is vain,
It’s right and known,
But then (why not),
Why does it blow in the ear,
The breath of the heart,
If love is vain,
Merely pain,
Merely laughter,
Stubborn abyss,

In the breath of the heart…

But with this the wind blows insanely,
And what was of the body,
In a mess it blows insanely,
And what was of the winged body,
In the wings of the mess,
Thus making you breathless,
Just mere brises,

Rare ones,
Rare ones,
Rare ones …

A lemon I cut in two,
I get near the ear,
To the freshness,
To the noise,
To a swim’s acidness,

In the blood of the heart,
Pumping in vain,
It’s his, alright,
It’s that, alright,
And in spite of that,
It shivers the skin.

In the breath of the heart…

This one was by Ana Rita Antunes, 10ºA, and it is a possible English version of "O Corpo é que paga", from António Variações:

When the head…When the head doesn’t have any sense.
When you try harder than you really need.The body’s the one that pays.The body’s the one that pays.Let it pay, let it pay.If you’re enjoying.
When the head just doesn’t set itself free,
Of all the frustrations, inhibitions, all that force
that keeps you binded,The body is the one that suffers.The intimacy, mutilation…When the head is convinced,
That it is the eight wonder.
The body’s the one that suffers.
The body’s the one that suffers.
Let it suffer, let it suffer.
If it gives you pleasure.

When the head is in that confusion,
Without knowing what you should do,
And you’re already everything you see.
The body is the one that keeps,
Keeps falling without resisting.

When the head rolls into the abyss.
You don’t control that nervousness.
The nail’s the one that pays.
The nail’s the one that pays.
You can’t stop nibbling.
Not even if it’s hurting.

When the head doesn’t have any sense.
And you don’t know what’s really needed.
The body’s the one that pays.
The body’s the one that pays.
Let it pay, let it pay.
If you’re enjoying.
Let it suffer, let it suffer.
If that gives you pleasure.
Let it sing, let it sing.
If you’re enjoying.
Let it kiss, let it kiss.
If you’re enjoying.
Let it scream, let it scream.
If you’re setting yourself free.
