ONE MORE TIME :portuguese and English UPDATED
PALAVRAS DE AMOR
Fala-me palavras
De amor
Só uma vez mais.
Nâo deixa morrer
Em meu coração
A saudade
Fala-me palavras
De “sempre”.
Não deixa cair
Meu coração
Em obscuridade
Só uma vez mais,
Meu amor,
Não me deixa esquecer
Jamais…
ENGLISH:
WORDS OF LOVE
Speak words of love
To me
Only one more time
Don’t let my longing
Die in my heart
Speak words of “forever”
Don’t let my heart fall
Into the dark
Just one more time
My Love.
Let me remember

for this subject, perfect.
How his would be lovely to hear
in the Portuguese language,
with its gentle sounds seducing our ears,
and for this subject,
perfect.
Beautiful parts in the text too:-
"Nâo deixa cair
De cor
A saudade"
"Não deixa cair
Meu curacao
Em obscuridade"
In both languages.
This line is difficult to understand:-
"I don’t want me forget…"

I abhore my ignorance of other languagues
A smattering of of French, German and Japanese is all.
From the the english I read something lovely. From my sounding of the Portuguese it sounded lovelier. Why is the english so much shorter?
Forgive my ignorance.
cheers,
Jess

Sybtax: greater use if
Sybtax: greater use if prepsitions,for example to show pssession:
My father's house
Port. a casa do meu pai
Span:la casa de mi padre
Ital: la casa di mio padre
similar in other latin based languages,
Englsh is a Germanic language priimarily: mein Vatters Haus and has a case system
that makes syntax brief and concise.
I was given the"gift" for learning languages, but I cannot add or subtract to save my life.
Itried to maintain the simple beauty of the Port. in English version. Wish i could record it here.
