[English]

The sky has cleared, it’s a new dawn

Let me be, let me feel

Let me be without you

I close myself off, that’s the cycle

Ended (ah, ah, ah)

Ended (ah, ah, ah)

Gold takes, silver takes

It’s just more weight

And for me to be light

And for me to be light

This is the blank card

Uncertain prose

It's not life entirely

It’s euthanasia

Heals (wounded)

Heals (wounded)

Light, light

No, it’s not too late

The calm at the end made

Light

The sky has cleared, it’s a new dawn

Let me be, let me feel

Let me be without you

I close myself off, that’s the cycle

Ended (ah, ah, ah)

Ended (ah, ah, ah)

(Ah, ah, ah)

(Ah, ah, ah) light

...

[Portuguese]

Amanheceu céu limpo

Deixa-me ser, sentir

Deixa-me ser sem ti

Fecho-me, esse é o ciclo

Finda (ah, ah, ah)

Finda (ah, ah, ah)

O ouro leva, a prata leva

É só mais peso

E p'ra eu ser leve

P'ra eu ser leve

Esta é a carta branca

Incerta a prosa

Não é vida toda

É eutanásia

Sara (ferida)

Sara (ferida)

Luz, luz

Não, não é tarde

A calma do fim fez

Luz

Amanheceu céu limpo

Deixa-me ser, sentir

Deixa-me ser, sem ti

Fecho-me esse é o ciclo

Finda (ah, ah, ah)

Finda (ah, ah, ah)

(Ah, ah, ah)

(Ah, ah, ah) luz
