[English]

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It's Ruben Teixeira.

It's Ruben Teixeira.

I've walked through a complicated fire

I didn't have to deal with my own mind

I want to forget all the past

So I can resolve things in the present

But there are wounds that haven't healed yet

Time is slow, but it cures everything

I'm sitting here another day, time passes, lost in my room with my thoughts

Sometimes I am my own worst enemy

It can happen inside my own head

Little by little, one fights alone

This son is a battle on his own, ready for war

But there are sorrows that can't be hidden

And there are guilts that I have to carry

Only my God can judge me

That's why I bow my head

Not a single tear falls, no one sees it

Turn and turn, I have to stay strong

Talking bad behind my back doesn't affect me

What a mess

Not a single tear falls, no one sees it

Turn and turn, I have to stay strong

Talking bad behind my back doesn't affect me

What a mess

I won't stop, I'll keep trying

I'm struggling with my own head

I don't want to stay here just lamenting

I don't even want to remember what has already passed

It's so weak, how people break apart

Here, what's felt is not how it's perceived

The storm made my waters run

But when joy comes, I'll embrace it

The guilt of a fisherman's joke

No other way ever came to stay

As for me, I don't want to argue about who's right

I want peace, I'll acknowledge them

I'm not trying to camouflage my pain

My eyes give it away

What was done, was done for love

I was waiting for the time to give my answer

Not a single tear falls, no one sees it

Turn and turn, I have to stay strong

Talking bad behind my back doesn't affect me

What a mess

Not a single tear falls, no one sees it

Turn and turn, I have to stay strong

Talking bad behind my back doesn't affect me

What a mess

What a mess

What a mess

What a mess

What a mess

What a mess

Desi putu fojo complicado

N' ka tive ki lida ku nha mente

N' kre skeci di todu passadu

Pa n' podi resolvi na presenti

Ma tem ferida ki ainda ka sarâ

Es fra tempo ma ta cura tudu

N' xintado otu dia, tempo ta passa perdidu na quartu ku nha pensamentu

As vezes mi é kenha é nha pior inimigu

Podi feto na nha propriu cabeça

Pouco a pouco um sa luta sozinho

Es fidju é um batalha só prontu pa guerra

Ma tem mágoas ki ka ta disfarça

E tem culpas kin tem ki carrega

So nha Deus é ki ta podi julga

Pa iso n' ta baixa cabeça

Nigénha lágoda ta kai, ningénha ka ta oja

Vira e n' xina n' tem ki mante solidu

Fala mal di mi na nha costa ka ta fêta

Ki sa foda

Nigénha lágoda ta kai, ningénha ka ta oja

Vira e n' xina n' tem ki mante solidu

Fala mal di mi na nha costa ka ta fêta

Ki sa foda

N' ka ta para n' continua ta tenta

N' sa mal ku nha propriu cabeça

Ka krê fika li só ta lamenta

Kel ki ja passa n' ka krê nem lembra

Es fra fraku komo sa jentis parti

Daki xinti ka fói mo ki xinti

Tempestadi fazi nha água corre

Ma alegria ben ka N' tu sola n' si

Culpa xanxa di um pescador

Otro modo nunca bem pa fika

A mi N' ka krê discuti razão

Ka sa tenta camufla nha dor

Nha nhas ójus ta da pa oja

Kel kin fazi fazi pa amor

Speraba pa tempo pa dâ nha resposta

Nigénha lágoda ta kai, ningénha ka ta oja

Vira e n' xina n' tem ki mante solidu

Fala mal di mi na nha costa ka ta fêta

Ki sa foda
