Da-me Um Beijo [English translation]

Perhaps because I love liberty so much

I envy the free life of the sparrows

But well your arms without mercy

And I swear I'll never leave that prison.

I can't hear fado without vibrating

And a don't dominate the fever to sing it

But give me a quivering kiss

You'l see I'll remain, eternally quite.

I adore the sunlight that illuminates me

By grateful and singular mercy of God

But close me in a room night and day

And I'll swap the sunlight for your eyes.

I can't hear fado without vibrating

And I don't dominate the fever to sing it

But give me a quivering kiss

You'l see I'll remain, eternally quiet.

Quietly here just for us, very secretly

I'v always been fearful until no more

But for you to be mine I'm not afraid

Not even of losing my salvation.

I can't hear fado without vibrating...
