Valentina - Part 1 (translation below)

It's a long story, I'm in love with an engaged girl, Valentina ... had to get it off my chest :(

Se fosse pintor, a sua imagem pintaria,

à velha arte novo e maior esplendor daria,

ela è a musa de cada minha fantasia,

sua pele de bebe, tocar nao osaria,

duas lindas estrelas do céu caira'

e posaram-se nos seus olhos de mina.

Se fosse poeta e as palavras minhas amigas,

pra dar aeterna fama ao seu nome as usarias,

tem o sorriso manhoso de uma menina,

seus desejos sao ordems, è uma rainha,

coraçao de princesa, meiguice de fada,

tudo ela tem, nao le falta nada.

Se fosse cantor e minha voz agradavel,

cantaria-le meu amor miseravel,

a cada acorde do meu violao,

um verso de pura emoçao,

de baixo de sua janela iluminada,

gritaria as letras de uma cançao inventada.

Mas nada disto pode me ajudar

pois outros labios ela prefere beijar.

Translation:

If I were a painter, her image I'd paint,

to the ancient arts new and higher grandeur I'd give,

she's the muse of all my fantasies,

her baby-like skin, I wouldn't dare touching,

two beautiful stars have fallen from sky

and landed in her girly eyes.

If I were a poet and words were my friends,

I'd use'em to give everlasting fame to her name,

she has the sly smile of a girl,

her wishes are orders, she's a queen,

princess' heart, fairy's sweetness,

everything she has, she doesn't lack of anything.

If I were a singer and my voice was pleasant,

I'd sing her my desperate love,

in every note of my guitar,

a verse of pure sentiment,

under her lighted window,

I'd cry the lyrics of a made-up song.

But none of these can help me,

because other lips she prefer kissing.

The concept and application was amazing. Magnificent... "If I were a painter... If I were a poet... If I were a singer... Then the ending. Bam. Sad. Thanks for sharing, I quite enjoyed it, well the english part anyway, can't read Portuguese, heh.
