The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Saiu Para A Rua" by Rui Veloso.
Lyrics
Saiu decidida para a rua
Com a carteira castanha
E o saia-casaco escuro
Tantos anos tantas noites
Sem sequer uma loucura
Ele saiu sem dizer nada
Talvez fosse ao teatro chino
Vai regressar de madrugada
E acordá-la cheio de vinho
Tantos anos tantas noites
Sem nunca sentir a paixão
Foram já as bodas de prata
Comemoradas em solidão
Pôs um pouco de baton
E um leve toque de pintura
Tirou do cabelo o travessão
E devolveu ao rosto a candura
Saiu para a rua insegura
Vageou sem direcção
Sorriu a um homem com tremura
E sentiu escorrer do coração
A humidade quente da loucura
Lyrics translation
She went out resolutely into the street
With the brown wallet
And the skirt-dark coat
So many years so many nights
Without even a madness
He left without saying anything
Maybe he went to the Chino theater.
He'll be back at dawn.
And wake her up full of wine
So many years so many nights
Without ever feeling the passion
It was already the silver wedding
Celebrated in solitude
Put some lipstick on
And a slight touch of paint
Took out of the hair the transom
And returned to his face the candour
Went out into the unsafe street
Wandered without direction
Smiled at a man with trembling
And felt it drip from the heart
The hot humidity of madness
