Verse 1
Exercitar ângulos, exibir arestas
Exercise angles, display edges
Como janelas abertas para todo o lado
Like windows open everywhere
É preciso gente fora do lugar
It takes people out of place
Janelas abertas para o mar
Windows open to the sea
Chorus 1
Inspirar, expirar
Inhale, expire
Inspirar, expirar
Inhale, expire
Inspirar, expirar
Inhale, expire
Sair dos quadrados para respirar
Get out of the squares to breathe
Verse 2
Numa sociedade de quadrados
In a society of squares
Quero outros polígonos com muitos mais lados
I want other polygons with many more sides
É preciso gente fora do lugar
It takes people out of place
Janelas abertas para o mar
Windows open to the sea
Chorus 2
Inspirar, expirar
Inhale, expire
Inspirar, expirar
Inhale, expire
Inspirar, expirar
Inhale, expire
Sair dos quadrados para respirar
Get out of the squares to breathe
Bridge
Por um lado, pisados
On the one hand, trodden
Por outro, apagados
On the other hand, erased
Por um lado, aos bocados
On the one hand, in pieces
Errantes, mas não errados
Wanderers, but not wrong
Por um lado, perdidos
On the one hand, lost
Por outro, rendidos
On the other hand, rendered
Por um lado, certamente
On the one hand, certainly
Errantes, mas não errados
Wanderers, but not wrong
Chorus 3
Inspirar, expirar
Inhale, expire
Inspirar, expirar
Inhale, expire
Inspirar, expirar
Inhale, expire
Sair dos quadrados para respirar
Get out of the squares to breathe
