D de Destino Lyrics Translation in English

A cigana sorriu

The gypsy smiled

Com seus dentes de ouro

With her golden teeth

Ao ler minha sorte

Reading my fate

Linhas na palma da mão

Lines in the palm of my hand

Para sempre serão

Will forever be

Meu passaporte

Minha mãe me falou

Das chagas dos cortes

And my father handed me his Guarani machete

E apontou para o norte

E eu segui

Muito além das fronteiras

Dos que só sabem ser

Pedras de atiradeira

Stones from a slingshot

Tantas vezes me vi

Tendo que decidir entre o nada e o nada
