The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Acordar Tarde" by Jorge Palma.
Lyrics
Tocas as flores murchas que algum te ofereceu
Quando o rio parou de correr e a noite
Foi to luminosa quanto a mota que falhou
A curva — e o servio postal no funcionou
No dia seguinte
Procuras vido aquilo que o mar no devorou
E passas a lngua na cola dos selos lambidos
Por assassinos — e a tua mo segurando a faca
Cujo gume possui a fatalidade do sangue contaminado
Dos amantes ocasionais — nada a fazer
Irs sozinho vida dentro
Os braos estendidos como se entrasses na gua
O corpo num arco de pedra tenso simulando
A casa
Onde me abrigo do mortal brilho do meio-dia
Lyrics translation
You touch the wilted flowers that some offered you
When the river stopped running and the night
It was so bright as the bike that failed
Curve-and Postal Service did not work
The next day
You seek to see what the sea has devoured
And you pass the water on the glue of the licked seals
By assassins - and your hand holding the knife
Whose Gum has the fatality of contaminated blood
From casual lovers — nothing to do
Irs alone life inside
The arms outstretched as if you entered the water
The body in a tense stone arch simulating
Home
Where I shelter from the deadly midday glow
