[English]

Chose to leave everything here

To disappear from here

To where I don't even know

But, I hope so

Tore herself away

And left from here

And took from me

That maybe

To laugh at everything in the end

...

Maybe I could have solved it

(Who's to know?)

Who knows if the pain won?

Why the rush to embark

On the raft that takes you to the other side?

...

Messed everything up around like that

And won't come back

Not even to see

That she was too big

And the silence

The immense silence

That crossed through

A sunny Sunday

And I rained without stopping

...

And in a sudden, unthinking act

(How to accept it?)

Imposed the decision

Why the rush to embark

On the raft that takes you to the other side?

Wave from the shore

In the distance the boat goes (goodbye)

Save a good place for me

...

[Portuguese]

Escolheu deixar tudo aqui

Sumir daqui

Pra onde nem sei

Mas, espero que sim

Se arrancou

E partiu daqui

E levou de mim

Aquele talvez

Rir de tudo no fim

Talvez pudesse resolver

(Quem vai saber?)

Quem sabe a dor venceu?

Pra quê essa pressa de embarcar

Na jangada que leva pro lado de lá?

Bagunçou tudo em volta assim

E não volta mais

Nem pra ver

Que era grande demais

E o silêncio

O imenso silêncio

Que atravessou

Domingo de sol

E eu chovi sem parar

E num rompante sem pesar

(Como aceitar?)

Impôs a decisão

Pra quê essa pressa de embarcar

Na jangada que leva pro lado de lá?

Aceno da margem

Ao longe o barco vai (até mais)

Guarde pra mim um bom lugar
