Avisem Que Eu Cheguei Lyrics Translation – Sara Correia
Correia declares storms bear women’s names through lyrics about parting seas and trembling stones. She transforms personal sorrow into collective strength with lines like turning heartaches into public mantras.
Tenho Faca Na Liga Vim No Embalo Da VidaI’ve got a blade in my garter, I came on the rhythm of life,
Ha Quem Crie E Quem Siga Eu Tenho O Destino TracadoSome create and others follow, but my destiny is already drawn.
Armada Ate Aos Dentes Acordei Os Mais DescrentesArmed to the teeth, I’ve awakened the greatest doubters,
Nao Ha Perigo Equivalente A Uma Mulher Que Cante O FadoThere’s no danger that compares to a woman who sings fado.
Faco A Mantras Das Magoas Venho A Pe Separo As AguasI turn heartaches into mantras, I come on foot and part the seas,
Faco A Tremer As Pedras Do ChaoI make the very stones beneath me tremble.
Nao Me Pecas P’ra Ter Calma Se O Peso Todo Da AlmaDon’t ask me to be calm, when the full weight of my soul,
Se Nao For Cantado Escapa-me Da Maowill slip right through my fingers if it isn’t sung.
Ai Avisa Que Eu Cheguei Invadi A CidadeHey, let them know I’ve arrived, I’ve taken over the city,
Descalca Pela Rua Eu Pus-me A VontadeWalking barefoot on the street, I’ve made myself at home.
Canto Bem Alto Para Quem VierI’m singing loud for anyone who’ll listen.
Ai Avisa Que Eu Cheguei Invadi A CidadeHey, let them know I’ve arrived, I’ve taken over the city,
P’ra Lhes Mostrar Por Que E Que Toda A TempestadeTo show them all exactly why every storm,
Tem Nome De Mulheris given a woman’s name.
Sou Filha Da Minha Mae Que Era Filha Da Mae DelaI’m the daughter of my mother, who was the daughter of hers,
Alguem Que Nasceu De Alguem Nunca Sonhei Ser Uma EstrelaSomeone born from someone else, I never dreamed I’d be a star.
Mas O Ceu Fica-me Bem Quem Me Viu No Alto ErguidaBut the sky looks good on me, and those who saw me held up high,
Diz Que Sou Nome De Rua Sou Nome De Avenidasay I’m a street name, an avenue’s name.
Deixa-me Cantar Anunciar A AlvoradaLet me sing to announce the coming dawn,
Ainda Nao Dormi Veio A Noite E Eu AcordadaI haven’t slept, the night has passed and I’m still wide awake.
Quem Vir Aquilo Que Eu Vi Nunca Mais Dorme DescansadaAnyone who’s seen what I’ve seen will never sleep peacefully again,
A Voz Que Veio Antes De Mim Nao Vive Mais AmordacadaThe voice that came before me will no longer be silenced.
Ai Avisa Que Eu Cheguei Invadi A CidadeHey, let them know I’ve arrived, I’ve taken over the city,
Descalca Pela Rua Eu Pus-me A VontadeWalking barefoot on the street, I’ve made myself at home.
Canto Bem Alto Para Quem VierI’m singing loud for anyone who’ll listen.
Ai Avisa Que Eu Cheguei Invadi A CidadeHey, let them know I’ve arrived, I’ve taken over the city,
P’ra Lhes Mostrar Por Que E Que Toda A TempestadeTo show them all exactly why every storm,
Tem Nome De Mulheris given a woman’s name.
P’ra Lhes Mostrar Por Que E Que Toda A TempestadeTo show them all exactly why every storm,
Tem Nome De Mulheris given a woman’s name.
