Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Esotérico by Gilberto Gil from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Não adianta nem me abandonar
There's no point in even abandoning me
Porque mistério sempre há de pintar por aí
Because mystery always has to be painted around
Pessoas até muito mais vão lhe amar
Many more people will love you
Até muito mais difíceis que eu pra você
Even much more difficult than me for you
Que eu, que dois, que dez, que dez milhões
That me, that two, that ten, that ten million
Até que nem tanto esotérico assim
Not so esoteric after all
Se eu sou algo incompreensível
If I am something incomprehensible
Meu Deus é mais
My God is more
Mistério sempre há de pintar por aí
Mystery is always there to paint around
Não adianta nem me abandonar
There's no point in even abandoning me
Nem ficar tão apaixonada
Don't be so in love
Que nada, que não sabe nada
That nothing, that knows nothing
Que morre afogada por mim
Who drowns for me
