Balada Astral

Astral Ballad

Balada Astral

When God put the worldQuando Deus pôs o mundo
And the sky to spinE o céu a girar
Deep downBem lá no fundo
He knew that by that walkSabia que por aquele andar
I would find youEu te havia de encontrar

My mother, in the secondMinha mãe, no segundo
That she accepted to danceEm que aceitou dançar
It was in the songFoi na cantiga
Of the stars conspiringDos astros a conspirar
That from their cosmic wanderingQue do seu cósmico vagar

They sent your fatherMandaram o teu pai
To smile at your motherSorrir para a tua mãe
So that youPara que tu
Would exist tooExistisses também

It was a beautiful dayEra um dia bonito
And at that time, I tooE na altura, eu também
The infiniteO infinito
Still remembered wellAinda se lembrava bem
Its cosmic hostageDo seu cósmico refém

I thoughtEu que pensava
I was just going to buy breadQue ia só comprar pão
You thoughtTu que pensavas
You were just going to walk the dogQue ias só passear o cão
Safe from the conspiracyA salvo da conspiração

Our paths crossedCruzámos caminhos
We stumbled upon a glanceTropeçámos num olhar
And the bread that dayE o pão nesse dia
Remained unpurchasedFicou por comprar

The leashes of the dogsEnsarilharam-se
Got tangledAs trelas dos cães
The stars, the signsOs astros, os signos
The destinies and the constellationsOs desígnios e as constelações
The stars, the pathsAs estrelas, os trilhos
And the belongings of bothE as tralhas dos dois
