I decided to translate this for fun. It’s easy peasy, but that’s OK, I’m not in exam mode, so it’s nice to do one that’s not just enjoyable and doesn’t make my brain bleed. It’s a duet between Carolina Deslandes and Rui Veloso and I thought maybe it was a version of something he’d written, simply because the lyrics sound like they are said by a man (she says she’ll become a “cavaleiro” for example, although now I think of it, is there even a feminine form of cavaleiro?) Anyway, it’s not, he doesn’t even get a joint writing credit, so I’m glad I checked before just writing that! Their voices work really well together, don’t they? They couldn’t be more different, but it’s a nice contrast.

| Amor o mundo quebra-te os sonhos Às vezes cai-te todo nos ombros Eu levanto-o inteiro por ti Eu viro o cavaleiro por ti Amor o mundo deixa-te ao frio Às vezes larga-te no vazio Eu pinto de todas as cores por ti Eu viro Leonardo Da Vinci por ti | Darling the world broke your dreams Sometimes it all fell on your shoulders I’ll lift it all up for you I’ll become a knight for you Darling, the world left you in the cold Sometimes it left you in the void I’ll paint all the colours for you I’ll become Leonardo da Vinci for you |
| Fiz-te um avião de papel Daqueles das cartas de amor Pra voarmos nele quando o mundo é cruel E não há espaço que chegue pra dor Fiz-te um avião de papel Daqueles dos quantos queres Pra voarmos daqui em lua de mel Pra te levar pra onde quiseres | I made you a paper plane One of those made out of a love letter So we can fly in it when the world is cruel And there’s not enough room for pain I made you a paper plane One of so many you want So we can fly from here to a honeymoon To take you wherever you want |
| Amor o mundo tira-te o ar Chega a proibir-te de dançar Eu danço as músicas todas por ti Eu viro bailarino por ti Amor o mundo fez-te mulher Mais cedo do que tinha de ser Eu faço o tempo voltar por ti Eu viro super-homem por ti | Darling, the world took away your breath It even prevented you from dancing I danced to all the songs for you I’ll become a dancer for you Darling, the world made you a woman Earlier than it had to I’ll make time go backwards for you I’ll become Superman for you |

| Fiz-te um avião de papel (Pois fiz) Daqueles das cartas de amor Pra voarmos nele quando o mundo é cruel E não há espaço que chegue pra dor Fiz-te um avião de papel Daqueles dos quantos queres Pra voarmos daqui em lua de mel Pra te levar onde quiseres | I made you a paper plane (of course!) One of those made out of a love letter So we can fly in it when the world is cruel And there’s not enough room for pain I made you a paper plane One of so many you want So we can fly from here to a honeymoon To take you wherever you want |
| Pra te levar Pra te levar Onde quiseres Onde quiseres | To take you To take you Wherever you want Wherever you want |
