I am assuming, once again, that there may be some idiomatic meaning here, since the literal translation sounds ridiculous. TIA

Song of the same name:
"Caras e bocas"
Caetano Veloso
Maria Bethânia
Quando eu canto o segredo
Quando mostro algum medo
Ou mais
Quando falo de amor ou desejo
Minha boca se mostra macia
Vermelha
Mas se dessa garganta
Das cordas escondidas desse peito sufocado
Desse coração atrapalhado
Surge uma nora brilhante
De cristal transparente
Minha cara invade a cena
Rasga a vida
Mostro o brilho agudo musical
