Lyrics
Amália Rodrigues — As Penas
Como disserem das minhas
As penas das avezinhas
De leves levam ao ar!
As minhas pesam-me tanto
Que às vezes, já nem o pranto
Lhes alivia o pesar!
Os passarinhos têm penas
Que as lindas tardes amenas
Os levam por esses montes!
De colina em colina
Ou pela extensa campina
A descobrir horizontes!
São bem felizes as aves
Como são leves, suaves
As penas que Deus lhes deu!
As minhas pesam-me tanto
Ai, se tu soubesses quanto
Sabe Deus e sei-o eu!
Lyrics translation
Amalia Rodrigues-The Feathers
How about mine?
The feathers of the avezinhas
Light lead to air!
Mine are so heavy on me
That sometimes, no more crying
It relieves their grief!
Birds have feathers
May the beautiful mild evenings
They're taking them through these hills!
From Hill to Hill
Or by the extensive campina
Discovering horizons!
The birds are very happy
As they are light, soft
The feathers God gave them!
Mine are so heavy on me
Oh, if you knew how much
God knows and I know!
