Primavera Lyrics Meaning António Zambujo | Bandidos Do Cante | Bairro das Flores
The poet describes a lover searching the sea for someone who cannot remember spring. Mateus repeats the line, ‘Without you, there is no spring,’ to show that love decides the season. The songwriter pictures empty churches and endless waves instead of blooming flowers.
Fiz-te Um PoemaI wrote you a poem.
Tenho Passado Este Tempo À Tua EsperaI’ve been spending this time waiting for you.
Ai Como EraOh, how it used to be.
Quando Voltas Pra Me Ver À Minha TerraWhen will you return to see me in my homeland?
Será Pela PrimaveraWill it be in the springtime?
Ao Cantar Esta Canção Aquece O Meu CoraçãoSinging this song warms my heart.
Ai Meu DesejoOh, my longing.
Vou À Procura Do Mar Talvez Pra Te EncontrarI’ll go search for the sea, maybe to find you.
Sem Saber Se Vens Ou NãoWithout knowing if you’re coming or not.
Ou Então Eu Fico AquiOr maybe I’ll just stay here.
Eu Estou Em GuerraI’m at war with myself.
Dei Voltas E Mais Voltas À CabeçaI’ve turned it over and over in my mind.
Já Nem Me InteressaI don’t even care anymore.
Deixei De Pedir Por Nós Na Minha IgrejaI’ve stopped praying for us in my church.
Já Não Vejo A PrimaveraI can’t see the spring anymore.
Ao Cantar Esta Canção Aquece O Meu CoraçãoSinging this song warms my heart.
Ai Meu DesejoOh, my longing.
