English Translation

Que fazer?

What to do?

Meu pensamento está preso àquele carnaval

My thoughts are stuck on that carnival

Volto a pisar este chão

I step on this ground again

Enceno um drama banal

I stage a trivial drama

Tento refazer a trama

I try to reconstruct the plot

Mas o desfecho é igual

But the outcome is the same


E você?

And you?

Será que canta calada aquele frevo axé

Does she sing silently that frevo axé?

Que não me deixa dormir?

That doesn't let me sleep?

Ou terá perdido a fé

Or has she lost faith

No que ficou prometido

In what was promised

Sem nos falarmos sequer?

Without us even speaking?


Meu amor

My love

Ando na praça vazia e espero o Sol se pôr

I walk in the empty square and wait for the sun to set

Vejo o clarão se extinguir

I see the brightness extinguish

Por trás da mão do poeta

Behind the poet's hand

Nosso amor não vai sumir

Our love won't disappear

Veja onde a gente se achou

See where we found each other

Estrelas já vão luzir

Stars are already shining

Na noite da Bahia preta

In the night of the black Bahia

Queria tanto você aqui

I wanted you here so much


Que fazer?

What to do?
