[English]

Lembra-me das minhas fraquezas

Remember my weaknesses

...

...

E eu conto-te como as tornei

And I tell you how I became them

Nas minhas certezas

In my certainties

...

...

E quando no peito secar

And when the fire in my chest runs dry

O fogo que aquece o olhar

The warmth behind my eyes

Procura por mim

Look for me

Que eu vou no teu lugar

Because I’ll be in your place

...

...

Eu vou levar-te

I will carry you

Nas tuas palavras

In your words

A máquina não pára

The machine never stops

Escolhas o caminho que escolheres

Choose the path you take

...

...

Procura por mim

Look for me

Mesmo quando tu te perderes

Even when you get lost

...

...

O tempo turva

Time blurs

Tudo o que somos

All that we are

Vivemos pouco o momento

We rarely live the moment

Para viver o que já fomos

To live what we once were

E quando o que se perdeu (o que se perdeu)

And when what’s lost (what’s lost)

Se torna em estrelas no céu

Turns into stars in the sky

Procura por mim (procura por mim)

Look for me (look for me)

E eu dou-te tudo que é meu

And I will give you everything that’s mine

Eu vou levar-te

I will carry you

Nas tuas palavras

In your words

A máquina não pára

The machine never stops

Escolhas o caminho que escolheres

Choose the path you take

Procura por mim

Look for me

Mesmo quando tu te perderes

Even when you get lost

Eu vou levar-te

I will carry you

Nas tuas palavras

In your words

A máquina não pára (não pára)

The machine never stops (never stops)

Mesmo que não mudes a dor

Even if the pain doesn’t change

Procura por mim (procura por mim)

Look for me (look for me)

Que o amor sossega a dor

For love soothes the pain

Procura por mim

Look for me

Que o amor sossega a dor

For love soothes the pain
