Amanheceu céu limpo

Deixa-me ser, sentir

Deixa-me ser sem ti

Let me be without you

Fecho-me, esse é o ciclo

I close myself off, that’s the cycle

Finda (ah, ah, ah)

Ended (ah, ah, ah)

O ouro leva, a prata leva

Gold takes, silver takes

É só mais peso

It’s just more weight

E p'ra eu ser leve

And for me to be light

P'ra eu ser leve

And for me to be light

Esta é a carta branca

This is the blank card

Incerta a prosa

Uncertain prose

Não é vida toda

É eutanásia

It’s euthanasia
