Lyrics & translation
Verse
I sit alone in my small room.
Eu me sento sozinha no meu quartinho.
The floorboards creak with a heavy sound.
As tábuas do piso estalam com um som pesado.
Someone is walking on the floor below.
Alguém está andando no andar de baixo.
Their feet turn slowly on wooden boards.
Os pés deles giram devagar nas tábuas de madeira.
Chorus
I learn your steps through my floorboards.
Aprendo teus passos pelas tábuas do meu piso.
The room below has saved a dance for me.
O salão de baixo guardou uma dança para mim.
My shoes leave their place beside the door.
Meus sapatos deixam seu lugar junto à porta.
I take the stairs into your rhythm.
Desço a escada até teu ritmo.
Verse
I count the slides and the soft turns.
Eu conto os deslizes e as voltas suaves.
The dusty light moves across the wall.
A luz empoeirada se move pela parede.
My shoes are waiting by the door.
Meus sapatos estão esperando junto à porta.
I am ready for the music in the hall.
Estou pronta para a música no salão.
Chorus
I learn your steps through my floorboards.
Aprendo teus passos pelas tábuas do meu piso.
The room below has saved a dance for me.
O salão de baixo guardou uma dança para mim.
My shoes leave their place beside the door.
Meus sapatos deixam seu lugar junto à porta.
I take the stairs into your rhythm.
Desço a escada até teu ritmo.
Bridge
The stairs are cold, the air is still.
As escadas estão frias, o ar está parado.
It is never too late to begin.
Nunca é tarde demais para começar.
Chorus
I learn your steps through my floorboards.
Aprendo teus passos pelas tábuas do meu piso.
The room below has saved a dance for me.
O salão de baixo guardou uma dança para mim.
My shoes leave their place beside the door.
Meus sapatos deixam seu lugar junto à porta.
