Dentro da noite

Language: Portuguese (Português)

Our translations: ENG

Dentro da noite a vida canta
E esgarça névoas ao luar...
Fosco minguante o vale encanta.
Morreu pecando alguma santa...
A água não pára de chorar.

Há um amavio esparso no ar...
Donde virá ternura tanta?...
Paira um sossego singular
Dentro da noite...

Sinto no meu violão vibrar
A alma penada de uma infanta
Que definhou do mal de amar...
Ouve... Dir-se-ia uma garganta
Súplice, triste, a soluçar
Dentro da noite...

Into the night

Language: English after the Portuguese (Português)

Into the night life sings 
And frays mists in the moonlight ...
frosted waning the charmed valley. 
Perishing some sinning saint ...
The water will not stop crying.

There is a sparse potion in the air ...
Will it come as much tenderness? ...
Hangs a singular stillness 
into the night ...

I feel in my guitar vibrate
The lost soul of a princess 
Who withered from the evil of love ... 
Listen ... a throat would say it 
Pleading, sad, sobbing
Into the night ...
