Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Quantos caminhos se tem que andar

How many paths must one walk

Antes de tornar-se alguém?

Before becoming someone?

Quantos dos mares temos que atravessar

How many seas must we cross

Pra poder, na areia, descansar?

To be able to rest on the sand?

Quantas mais balas perdidas voarão

How many more lost bullets will fly

Antes de desaparecer?

Before disappearing?

Escute o que diz

Listen to what the wind says

O vento, my friend

Oh wind, my friend

O vento vai responder

The wind will answer


Quantas vezes olharemos o céu

How many times will we look at the sky

Antes de saber enxergar?

Before learning to see?

Quantos ouvidos terá o poder

How many ears does power have

Para ouvir o povo chorar?

To hear the people cry?

Quantas mais mortes o crime fará

How many more deaths will crime cause

Antes de se satisfazer?

Before being satisfied?

Escute o que diz

Listen to what the wind says

O vento, my friend

Oh wind, my friend

O vento vai responder

The wind will answer


Quantos anos pode uma montanha existir

How many years can a mountain exist

Antes do mar lhe cobrir?

Before the sea covers it?

Quantos seres ainda irão torturar

How many beings will still torture

Antes de se libertar?

Before liberating themselves?

Quantas cabeças viraram assim

How many heads turn away like this

Fingindo não poderem ver?

Pretending not to see?

Escute o que diz

Listen to what the wind says

O vento, my friend

Oh wind, my friend

O vento vai responder

The wind will answer
