Eurovision 1998 Portugal:
Alma Lusa - "Se Eu Te Pudesse Abraçar"
Se eu te pudesse abraçar
Todas as terras do mundo
Têm alma de Portugal
Onde quer que estejas, onde quer que vás
A saudade já lá está
Se eu te pudesse abraçar
E depois falar contigo
Tinha tanta coisa para te contar
Meu irmão e meu amigo
Caminhar, caminhar
Faz-se caminho ao andar
Terra mãe e pátria lar
Que a distância faz chorar
Navegar, navegar
Sobre a terra e sobre o mar
É preciso acreditar
Se eu te pudesse abraçar
Em todas as partes do mundo
Há gente de Portugal
Com saudades de alguém que deixou alguém
Do outro lado do mar
Se eu te pudesse abraçar
E depois falar contigo
Tinha tanta coisa para te contar
Meu irmão e meu amigo
Caminhar, caminhar
Faz-se caminho ao andar
Terra mãe e pátria lar
Que a distância faz chorar
Navegar, navegar
Sobre a terra e sobre o mar
É preciso acreditar
Se eu te pudesse abraçar
Caminhar, caminhar
Faz-se caminho ao andar
Terra mãe e pátria lar
Que a distância faz chorar
Navegar, navegar
Sobre a terra e sobre o mar
É preciso acreditar
Se eu te pudesѕe abraçаr
If I could embrace you
All the lands of the world
Have the soul of Portugal
Wherever you are, wherever you go
The longing is already there
If I could embrace you
And talk to you after
I'd have so much to tell you
My brother and my friend
Wandering, wandering
We cover the distance by walking
Motherland and fatherland
That distance makes you cry
Sailing, sailing
Over land and over sea
You need to believe
If I could embrace you
In every part of the world
There is a Portuguese
Longing for someone who left someone
On the other side of the sea
If I could embrace you
And talk to you after
I'd have so much to tell you
My brother and my friend
Wandering, wandering
We cover the distance by walking
Motherland and fatherland
That distance makes you cry
Sailing, sailing
Over land and over sea
You need to believe
If I could embrace you
Wandering, wandering
We cover the distance by walking
Motherland and fatherland
That distance makes you cry
Sailing, sailing
Over land and over ѕea
You need to believe
If I could embrаce you
לוּ יכֹלתי לחבקך
בכל ארצות העולם
יש נפש פורטוגלית
לא משנה איפה אתה, או לאן תלך
הגעגוע נמצא כבר שם
לוּ יכֹלתי לחבקך
ואז לדבר איתך
היה כל כך הרבה לספר לך
אחי, חברי
ללכת, ללכת
וכך ליצור את המסלול
ארץ אבות ומְכוֹרָה
המרחק גורם לבכות
להפליג, להפליג
על הארץ, על הים
וצריך להאמין
לו יכֹלתי לחבקך
בכל מקום בעולם
יש מישהו מפורטוגל
עם געגוע למישהו, שהשאיר מישהו
מעבר לים
לו יכֹלתי לחבקך
ואז לדבר איתך
היה כל כך הרבה לספר לך
אחי, חברי
ללכת, ללכת
וכך ליצור את המסלול
ארץ אבות ומְכוֹרָה
והמרחק גורם לבכות
להפליג, להפליג
על הארץ, על הים
וצריך להאמין
לו יכֹלתי לחבקך
ללכת, ללכת
וכך ליצור את המסלול
ארץ אבות ומְכוֹרָה
והמרחק גורם לבכות
להפליג, להפליג
על הארץ, על הים
וצריך להאמין
לו יכֹלתי לחבקך
