Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

A vida valeu, mas será que era pra ser assim?

Life was worthwhile, but was it meant to be this way?

Sofrimento do princípio ao fim

Suffering from the beginning to the end

Há uma dor seguida de outra dor

There is one pain followed by another pain

Não resistiu o amor

Love did not resist


A vida valeu, mas viver em solidão a dois

Life was worthwhile, but living in solitude as a pair

Fez sangrar um coração, depois

Made a heart bleed, afterwards

Fez secar a flor, fruto e raiz

It made the flower, fruit, and root dry

De todo bem que fiz

From all the good I did


Hoje, eu, depois do vendaval, me sinto imune ao mal

Today, I, after the storm, feel immune to evil

Pois Deus não pune a quem se deu

Because God does not punish those who gave themselves

Ela, que ironia, borboleta cega

She, what irony, blind butterfly

Fui a luz do seu dia

I was the light of her day

Sou cruz que ela ainda carrega

I am the cross she still carries


E a mulher que foi minha paixão

And the woman who was my passion

Hoje, de mão em mão

Today, from hand to hand

Chora por quem já não lhe quer

Cries for someone who no longer wants her


Ao seu mudo grito, reflito em minha mente

To your silent cry, I reflect in my mind

Ninguém deixa um poeta impunemente

No one leaves a poet unpunished
