Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Não queria ser o mar

Did not want to be the sea

Me bastava a fonte

The fountain was enough for me

Muito menos ser a rosa

Much less to be the rose

Simplesmente o espinho

Simply the thorn

Não queria ser caminho

Did not want to be the path

Porém o atalho

But the shortcut

Muito menos ser a chuva

Much less to be the rain

Apenas o orvalho

Only the dew

Não queria ser o dia

Did not want to be the day

Só a alvorada

Only the dawn

Muito menos ser o campo

Much less to be the field

Me bastava o grão

The grain was enough for me

Não queria ser a vida

Did not want to be life

Porém o momento

But the moment

Muito menos ser concerto

Much less to be a concert

Apenas a canção

Only the song

O Ouro afunda no mar

Gold sinks in the sea

Madeira fica por cima

Wood stays above

Ostra nasce do lodo

Oyster is born from the mud

Gerando pérolas finas

Generating fine pearls
