English Translation

Eu, que muito ganhei

I, who gained so much

E tanto perdi

And lost so much

Desde a infância

Since childhood

E na dor aprendi

And in pain, I learned

Que o tom ruim

That the bad tone

Tem cor de esperança

Has the color of hope


Há sonhos que repousam sobre um chão de areia

There are dreams that rest on a sandy ground

E há outros que por fim

And there are others that eventually

Navegam seu convés num mar de estrelas

Sail their deck in a sea of stars


Corri, fugi, me vi

I ran, I fled, I saw myself

Pular pela janela

Jumping through the window

Parei, me olhei, senti

I stopped, looked at myself, felt

Que a vida vale a pena

That life is worth it

Nessa briga contra tudo, quem venceu

In this fight against everything, who won

Foi ela

Was she


Há sonhos que repousam sobre um chão de areia

There are dreams that rest on a sandy ground

E há outros que por fim

And there are others that eventually

Navegam seu convés num mar de estrelas

Sail their deck in a sea of stars


Corri, fugi, me vi

I ran, I fled, I saw myself

Pular pela janela

Jumping through the window

Parei, me olhei, senti

Que a vida vale a pena

Nessa briga contra tudo, quem venceu

Ouvi a vida me chamar

Que a vida vale a pena

That life is worth it
