Title
Sheets Of Egyptian Cotton
Text
Submitted by monicaromanatto
Source language: English

Ships crossing like ghosts
In the night
Names are remembered
Faces in sight
Take what we can and
Need to survive

Was exchanging kisses
And you
Leave me scarred
And confused

I'll wait and see
What unfolds
Don't have what I need
Girl now I love you so

Na na na na na na na na
Sheets of Egyptian cotton
Na na na na na na na na
Sheets of Egyptian cotton
Na na na na na na na na
Sheets of Egyptian cotton

Title
Lençóis de Algodão Egípcio
Translation
Portuguese brazilian

Translated by goncin
Target language: Portuguese brazilian

Navios cruzando como fantasmas
Na noite
Nomes são lembrados
Rostos à vista
Leve o que podemos e
Precisamos para sobreviver

Foi ao trocar de beijos
E você
Me deixa magoado
E confuso

Vou esperar e ver
O que vai acontecer
Não tem o que eu preciso
Garota agora eu te amo tanto

Na na na na na na na na
Lençóis de algodão egípcio
Na na na na na na na na
Lençóis de algodão egípcio
Na na na na na na na na
Lençóis de algodão egípcio

FINALLY!!! (But see this, this and this)

Casper, I'll translate according to the right lyrics. Do you edit the original text, please.

Thanks in advance,

Yeah.
Most of lyrics posted in this kind of site is erroneous (I corrected a lot of them on LetrasTerra and CifraClub)
This guy (Jesse Someone, who is an actor as I can see) should have an official site with the official lyric.

I even saw incorrect lyrics on Bob Dylan's offi. site

By the way, the word in the second verse is "scarred", not "scared", so maybe the Portuguese word should be "marcado" or "maguado" (I'm just consulting my dictionary - I don't speak Portuguese).

Thanks, Laura, I've edit. I didn't notice those double "rr".

By the way, "scarred" comes from "scar"; "cicatriz" in Portuguese. I changed to "com cicatrizes", because "cicatrizado", a litteral translation of "scarred" would mean "healed" (!!) instead.

"Marcado" (in Brazil) or "maguado" (well... I didn't know that... it tastes Portuguese from Portugal) is not wrong at all, but it has a more generic meaning: to let any kind of prints, physical or psychological.

Laura, please throw your Portuguese dictionary away : Casper is right, there is no "maguado" even in Portugal!! The correct is "magoado", as he said.

Uia! Hope that hers is one of those free dict.

Só achei engraçado.

maguado parece daquelas cartinhas rápidas que os namorados mais 'fofus' mandam, do tipo 'beijus'

Hope that hers is one of those free dict.

Sorry - my fault, not the dictionary's - I read it wrong.

Oh, that way we have a draw:

"scared" [scarred] 1 x 1 "maguado" [magoado]

I must confess that i makes me sacered the way you translated sacarred, goncin.

Maybe 'você me fere' or even 'me deixa magoado'. What do you think?

Eu até que tinha gostado,mas alguém podia olhar e pensar que a garota arranhou o 'chapa' quando ele tentou beijá-la.

Casper, acho que já chega de discussões (acho que eu não tinha visto uma tradução com tantas mensagens ainda). Ponha em votação, por favor.

"whaddaya know" is an expression of surprise (a little bit positive).
