[English]

Nobody will stop you, ask

To let you know, why?

You'll have to offer yourself

Understand, what will make you live?

...

See, it's not enough to go, fly, follow

The siege to the end

Tightens, betrays, bites, deceives fate, falls

Doesn't remember you

...

It's just love undone

Blood rose on the chest

Tear that I shed

Without turning back

...

Grows and contaminates

Takes the light from life

That in the end teaches, breaks

Bends the pain and delivers sincere love

...

Honor so much dedication, silence the despair

It's simple, everything that is from life inherited meaning

Hold on to yourself if you are held, knows how to be lived

Speaks to your ear and you are born

...

Nobody will stop you, ask

To let you know, why?

So see, it's not enough to go, fly, follow

The siege to the end, tightens

Betrays, bites, deceives fate, falls

Doesn't remember you

...

It's just love undone

Blood rose on the chest

Tear that I shed

Without turning back

...

Grows and contaminates

Takes the light from life

That in the end teaches, breaks

Bends the pain and delivers sincere love

...

Honor so much dedication, silence the despair

It's simple, everything that is from life inherited meaning

Hold on to yourself if you are held, knows how to be lived

Speaks to your ear and you are born

...

[Portuguese]

Ninguém te vai parar, perguntar

Fazer saber, porquê?

Vais ter de te oferecer

Entender, o que fará viver?

Vê, não basta ir, voar, seguir

O cerco ao fim

Aperta, trai, morde, engana a sorte, cai

Não lembra de ti

É só o amor desfeito

Rosa sangue ao peito

Lágrima que (deito)

(Sem voltar atrás)

Cresce e contamina

Tolhe a luz à vida

Que afinal ensina, quebra

Dobra a dor e entrega amor sincero

Honra tanto esmero, cala o desespero

É simples, tudo o que é da vida herdou sentido

Tem-te se for tido, sabe ser vivido

Fala-te ao ouvido e nasces tu

Ninguém te vai parar, perguntar

Fazer saber, porquê?

Por isso vê, não basta ir, voar, (seguir)

(O cerco ao fim) aperta

(Trai), morde, engana a sorte, cai

Não lembra de ti

É só o amor desfeito

Rosa sangue ao peito

Lágrima que deito

Sem voltar atrás

Cresce e contamina

Tolhe a luz à vida

Que afinal ensina, quebra

Dobra a dor e entrega amor sincero

Honra tanto esmero, cala o desespero

É simples, tudo o que é da vida herdou sentido

Tem-te se for tido, sabe ser vivido

Fala-te ao ouvido e nasces tu
