Se eu quiser falar com Deus
If I want to talk to God
Tenho que ficar a sós
I have to be alone
Tenho que apagar a luz
I have to turn off the light
Tenho que calar a voz
I have to shut up
Tenho que encontrar a paz
Gotta find peace
Tenho que folgar os nós
I have to loosen the knots
Dos sapatos, da gravata
The shoes, the tie
Dos desejos, dos receios
Of desires, of fears
Tenho que esquecer a data
I have to forget the date
Tenho que perder a conta
I have to lose count
Tenho que ter mãos vazias
I have to have empty hands
Ter a alma e o corpo nus
Having your soul and body naked
Se eu quiser falar com Deus
If I want to talk to God
Tenho que aceitar a dor
I have to accept the pain
Tenho que comer o pão
I have to eat the bread
Que o diabo amassou
That the devil crushed
Tenho que virar um cão
I have to become a dog
Tenho que lamber o chão
I have to lick the floor
Dos palácios, dos castelos
Of palaces, of castles
Suntuosos do meu sonho
Sumptuous of my dream
Tenho que me ver tristonho
I have to see myself sad
Tenho que me achar medonho
I have to think I'm hideous
E apesar de um mal tamanho
And despite a bad size
Alegrar meu coração
Brighten my heart
Se eu quiser falar com Deus
If I want to talk to God
Tenho que me aventurar
I have to venture
Tenho que subir aos céus
I have to climb to the skies
Sem cordas pra segurar
No ropes to hold
Tenho que dizer adeus
I have to say goodbye
Dar as costas, caminhar
Turn your back, walk
Decidido, pela estrada
Decided, on the road
Que ao findar, vai dar em nada
That when it ends, it will come to nothing
Nada, nada, nada, nada
Nothing nothing nothing nothing
Nada, nada, nada, nada
Nothing nothing nothing nothing
Nada, nada, nada, nada
Nothing nothing nothing nothing
Do que eu pensava encontrar
Than I thought I would find
