Lyrics & translation
Verse 1
The new small piece behind my ear found every cupboard.
A nova pecinha atrás da orelha encontrou todos os armários.
The radiator hummed beside the piano.
O radiador zumbia junto ao piano.
I played a chord and heard the wooden keys returning.
Toquei um acorde e ouvi o regresso das teclas de madeira.
Chorus
The wood has kept a rhythm under all my music.
A madeira guardou um ritmo debaixo de toda a minha música.
My left ear meets a room I thought I knew.
A minha orelha esquerda encontra uma sala que pensava conhecer.
A changed chord still has space for both my hands.
Um acorde diferente ainda tem espaço para as minhas duas mãos.
Verse 2
My granddaughter laughed when I noticed the pedal thumping.
A minha neta riu quando reparei no bater do pedal.
She tapped the bench and waited for my answer.
Ela bateu no banco e esperou pela minha resposta.
We made a tune with keys and legs and heating pipes.
Criámos um tema com teclas, pernas e tubos de aquecimento.
Chorus
The wood has kept a rhythm under all my music.
A madeira guardou um ritmo debaixo de toda a minha música.
My left ear meets a room I thought I knew.
A minha orelha esquerda encontra uma sala que pensava conhecer.
A changed chord still has space for both my hands.
Um acorde diferente ainda tem espaço para as minhas duas mãos.
Bridge
The old familiar melody came back a little altered.
A velha melodia familiar voltou um pouco alterada.
I let the radiator keep its quiet humming.
Deixei o radiador manter o seu zumbido baixo.
My granddaughter named the tune after our wooden bench.
A minha neta deu à melodia o nome do nosso banco de madeira.
Final Chorus
The wood has kept a rhythm under all my music.
A madeira guardou um ritmo debaixo de toda a minha música.
My left ear meets a room I thought I knew.
A minha orelha esquerda encontra uma sala que pensava conhecer.
A changed chord still has space for both my hands.
Um acorde diferente ainda tem espaço para as minhas duas mãos.
