Brado

Bellow

If it were talked about for hours,

This wind that drives us apart

Would be the greatest burden,

With the power of a bellow

That wears both our throats out.

If it were measured in days,

The whole sea that separates us,

It would take swimming for days

Without anything more than the bellow

Of he who drowns in the waves.

If it were talked about for months,

The sky that doesn't hold us

Would be an unfolded sky,

Multiplied by the bellow

Of a hundred million guitars.

Only in other ways can be told

That which is killing us;

Only by the screams of those who drown

Only by centuries of fado

Only by millennia of nothingness...

In Portuguese, the verb contar(e) has many acceptations, but the only relevant ones in the context of this song are "to tell, talk about or relay something to someone" or else, "to measure, evaluate or assess".

Hello Metodius,
the first time I heard this song now, I thought of the meaning of "contar" in this context quite the opposite to your comment! For me it has the meaning "to count". I cannot explain it, it is so poetical, all about feelings and the time going by. It makes more sense to count hours, days and month, than to tell them.
And I suggest as translation for the title the engl. noun "sceam". There might be the verb "to bellow" , but as a noun it has the meaning of " um fole de forja". Hope to have helped you.
