These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Um amor assim delicado
Such a delicate love
Você pega e despreza
You take and despise
Não o devia ter despertado
I shouldn't have wokem him up
Ajoelha e não reza
Kneel and don't pray
Dessa coisa que mete medo
This thing that scares you
Pela sua grandeza
For its greatness
Não sou o único culpado
I'm not the only one to blame
Disso eu tenho certeza
Of that I'm sure
Princesa, surpresa
Princess, surprise
Você me arrasou
You rocked me
Serpente, nem sente
Snake, don't even feel
Que me envenenou
Who poisoned me
Senhora, e agora?
Ma'am, what now?
Me diga onde eu vou
Tell me where I'm going
Senhora, serpente, princesa
Lady, snake, princess
Um amor assim violento
Such a violent love
Quanto torna-se mágoa
How much hurt becomes
É o avesso de um sentimento
It's the inside of a feeling
Oceano sem água
Ocean without water
Ondas, desejos de vingança
Waves, desires for revenge
Nessa desnatureza
In this nature
Bateu forte sem esperança
Hit hard without hope
Contra tua dureza
Against your toughness
Um amor assim delicado
Such a delicate love
Nem um homem daria
Not a man would give
Talvez tenha sido pecado
Maybe it was a sin
Apostar na alegria
Bet on joy
Você pensa que eu tenho tudo
You think I have everything
E vazio me deixa
And emptiness leaves me
Mas deus não quer que eu fique mudo
But God doesn't want me to be mute
E eu te grito essa queixa
And I yell at you that complaint
Princesa, surpresa
Princess, surprise
Você me arrasou
You rocked me
Serpente, nem sente
Snake, don't even feel
Que me envenenou
Who poisoned me
Senhora, e agora?
Ma'am, what now?
Me diga onde eu vou
Tell me where I'm going
Amiga, me diga
Friend, tell me
