Por teu livre pensamento
For your free thought
Foram-te longe encerrar
They took you far away to lock you up
Tão longe que o meu lamento
So far that my lament
Não te consegue alcançar
Can't reach you
E apenas ouves o vento
And you only hear the wind
E apenas ouves o mar
And you only hear the sea
Levaram-te a meio da noite
They took you in the middle of the night
A treva tudo cobria
Darkness covered everything
Foi de noite numa noite
It was at night, on a night
De todas a mais sombria
The darkest of all
Foi de noite, foi de noite
It was at night, it was at night
E nunca mais se fez dia
And day never broke again
Ai! Dessa noite o veneno
Oh! The poison of that night
Persiste em me envenenar
Persists in poisoning me
Oiço apenas o silêncio
I only hear the silence
Que ficou em teu lugar
That remained in your place
E ao menos ouves o vento
And at least you hear the wind
E ao menos ouves o mar
And at least you hear the sea

envenenar — to poison
Envenenar means "to poison." It's a strong and evocative verb that immediately grabs attention, suggesting danger and deep emotional impact.
In the context of the song, the singer describes how the "veneno" (poison) of a dark night continues "envenenar" (to poison) her. This isn't a literal poisoning, but rather a powerful metaphor for how a traumatic past event continues to inflict emotional pain and sorrow, making it a truly memorable and impactful word.
