Brazilian song

[jean-baptiste]

Hey, there's this Brazilian song that I've loved for about 3 years now, "Longe Demais" by Vanessa Da Mata. I was wondering if anyone who speaks Portugese could translate this song for me into English. I've never been able to find one.

Beijei seu rosto e guardei
Achei sincero e sem dúvida
Era quase de manhã, era madrugada
A noite esconde a cidade e você some
Será que é cria da noite e eu não sei?
As horas cessaram naquela manhã
Que vem é outro dia, outro dia
Será um desencontro e eu vou sozinha
Ele não dá um sentimento
Será um jogo intenso que se anuncia
Ele ri e sabe o que faz
Te quis prá minha vida, todo tempo esperei
E a vida agora está em torno de você
Amanhã é longe demais
Prá quem não tem
Prá quem não sabe
Amanhã é longe demais
Prá quem não tem a eternidade

Here;s the song for anyone who's interested (her live renditions of the song are awesome too):

I will do it... ^^ just a moment!

here is it:

Too far way

I kissed your face and kept it to me
Found it sincere and without doubt
It was almost morning, late into the night
The night hides the city, you disappear
Maybe you are a creation of the night and I don't know it
The hours stoped on that morning that is coming
And it's another day
Maybe this is a mismatch and I go on alone
He doesn't give me a feeling
Maybe this a intence game being announced
He laughs and knows what he is doing
I wanted you for my life, all this time I waited
And life now is around you
Tomorrow is too far way
For someone who doesn't own it
For someone who doesn't know it
Tomorrow is too far way
For someone who doesn't have eternity

The lyrics are ambigous in portuguese, and some of the structures that make it ambigous don't work in English... So, I kept it literal and tried to make it have some sense in English when I felt the literal translation lacked it.

She's performing this August in my city. I'll give an attempt at translating though I'm not that good with it.

"Too Far away"

I kissed your face and kept it (to myself)
I thought it was sincere and undoubtful
It was almost morning, it was dawn
The night hides the city and you disappear
Is it (are you) a creation of the night and I'm not aware of it?
The hours stopped that morning
What comes is another day, another day
Is this a mismatch in meeting each other and I go on alone
He doesn't show a feeling
Is it an intense game that is being announced
He laughs and knows what he does
I wanted you for all my life, for all the time I've waited
And now the life is around you
Tomorrow is too far away
For someone who doesn't have it
For someone who doesn't know it
Tomorrow is too far away
For someone who doesn't have the eternity
