Sei que ao meu coração só lhe resta escolher
I know that in my heart all you have left to choose
Os caminhos que a dor sutilmente traçou
The paths that pain subtly traced
Para lhe aprisionar
To imprison you
Nem lhe cabe sonhar com o que definhou
It's not even up to you to dream of what's languished
Vou me repreender pra não mais me envolver
I'm going to scold myself for not getting involved anymore
Nessas tramas de amor
In these plots of love
Eu bem sei que nós dois somos bem desiguais
I know we're both very unequal
Para que martelar, insistir, reprisar
For hammering, insisting, reprising
Tanto faz, tanto fez
Whatever, whatever
Eu por mim desisti, me cansei de fugir
I gave up for myself, I got tired of running away
Eu por mim decretei que fali, e daí?
I decreed for myself that I went bankrupt, so what?
Eu jurei para mim não botar nunca mais
I swore to me never to put
Minhas mãos pelos pés
My hands by the feet
Mas que tanta mentira eu ando pregando
But what a lie I've been preaching
Supondo talvez me enganar
Assuming maybe fool me
Mas que tanta crueza
But how raw
Se em mim a certeza é maior do que tudo o que há
If in me certainty is greater than all there is
Todas as vezes que eu sonho
Every time I dream
É você que me rouba a justeza do sono
You're the one who steals my sleep
É você quem invade bem sonso e covarde
You're the one who invades sound and cowardly
As noites que eu tento dormir meio em paz
The nights I try to sleep half in peace
Sei que mais cedo ou mais tarde
I know that sooner or later
Vou ter que expulsar todo o mal
I'm going to have to cast out all evil
Que você me rogou
That you begged me
Custe o que me custar
Whatever it takes me
Vou desanuviar toda a dor que você me causou
I'm going to clear up all the pain you've caused me
Eu vou me redimir e existir, mas sem ter que ouvir
I'm going to redeem myself and exist, but without having to listen
As mentiras mais loucas
The craziest lies
Que alguém já pregou nesse mundo pra mim
That someone has ever preached in this world for me
Sei que ao meu coração só lhe resta escolher
I know that in my heart all you have left to choose
Os caminhos que a dor sutilmente traçou
The paths that pain subtly traced
Para lhe aprisionar
To imprison you
Nem lhe cabe sonhar com o que definhou
It's not even up to you to dream of what's languished
Vou me repreender pra não mais me envolver
I'm going to scold myself for not getting involved anymore
Nessas tramas de amor
In these plots of love
Eu bem sei que nós dois somos bem desiguais
I know we're both very unequal
Para que martelar, insistir, reprisar
For hammering, insisting, reprising
Tanto faz, tanto fez
Whatever, whatever
Eu por mim desisti, me cansei de fugir
I gave up for myself, I got tired of running away
Eu por mim decretei que fali, e daí?
I decreed for myself that I went bankrupt, so what?
Eu jurei para mim não botar nunca mais
I swore to me never to put
Minhas mãos pelos pés
My hands by the feet
Sei que mais cedo ou mais tarde
I know that sooner or later
Vai ter um covarde pedindo perdão
There's going to be a coward asking for forgiveness
Mas sei também que o meu coração
But I also know that my heart
Não vai querer se curvar só de humilhação
You don't want to bow down just in humiliation
