Lyrics & Translation

[Portuguese]

[English]

E eu sigo em frente

And I keep moving forward

E hoje nada vai me abalar

And today nothing will shake me

Sem olhar pra trás eu vou na fé e não

Without looking back I go in faith and no

Vi que tudo ao meu redor ia desmoronar

Saw everything around me was collapsing

Como um sonho eu acordei em outro lugar

Like a dream I woke up in another place

E eu senti que a estrela brilhou, e nada faz parar

And I felt the star shone, and nothing stops it

Seis horas da manhã e o sol me toca

Six in the morning and the sun touches me

Com a paz que renova tudo em minha volta

With the peace that renews everything around me

O som a noite inteira com a lua refletindo

The sound all night with the moon reflecting

No fim do túnel a luz que cerca o meu caminho

At the end of the tunnel, the light that surrounds my path

Já ta tudo pronto pra trip decolar

Everything's ready for the trip to take off

E na bagagem traz sorte pra somar

And in the luggage brings luck to add up

Pela sensação de liberdade é conduzido

Led by the sensation of freedom

Limita o seu pudor e libera seu libido

Limits your modesty and releases your libido

E o jogo virou

And the game has turned

E a casa caiu

And the house fell down

Causando a mil por hora e nada abala

Raising hell at a thousand miles an hour and nothing shakes it

E o jogo virou

And the game has turned

A mente se abriu, eu vou voar

The mind opened, I'm going to fly

O mundo gira e bota sempre tudo no lugar

The world turns and always puts everything in its place

...

...

Sem me arrepender, vou continuar

Without regretting it, I'll keep going

Manter o equilíbrio é estar na brisa, levitar

Maintaining balance is being in the breeze, levitating

Com minha bela na paz de Deus

With my beautiful girl in God's peace

O que sobe pra mente faz do meu caminho o seu

What goes up to the mind makes my path yours

Tá tudo pronto com os pés na areia

Everything is ready with your feet in the sand

E o brilho da cidade incendeia

And the city's glow ignites

Segue a vida reverenciando o som do mar

Follows life revering the sound of the sea

Vou na certeza que o sol vai me guiar

I'll go with the certainty that the sun will guide me

E o jogo virou

And the game has turned

E a casa caiu

And the house fell down

Causando a mil por hora e nada abala

Raising hell at a thousand miles an hour and nothing shakes it

E o jogo virou

And the game has turned

A mente se abriu, eu vou voar

The mind opened, I'm going to fly

O mundo gira e bota sempre tudo no lugar

The world turns and always puts everything in its place

...

...

Segue no rolé de bike

Keep cruising on your bike

À noite eu entro em cena e o clima é bom

At night I enter the scene and the vibe is good

Queimando a Babilônia

Burning Babylon

Legalize, eu faço um som

Legalize it, I'll make a sound

Não morro na praia, eu sei me aventurar

I won't die on the beach, I know how to venture

Sou come-quieto, mas sei bem quando explanar

I'm a quiet eater, but I know when to expose

Que ela é toda imoral, de olhar já passo mal

That she is completely immoral, just looking at her makes me sick

O encaixe foi perfeito, a sintonia surreal

The fit was perfect, the tuning surreal

Ousada nova escola faz história estilo Reis de Dogtown

Daring new school makes history like the Lords of Dogtown

E o jogo virou

And the game has turned

E a casa caiu

And the house fell down

Causando a mil por hora e nada abala

Raising hell at a thousand miles an hour and nothing shakes it

E o jogo virou

And the game has turned

A mente se abriu, eu vou voar

The mind opened, I'm going to fly

O mundo gira e bota sempre tudo no lugar

The world turns and always puts everything in its place

...
