Será que eu tive meu príncipe encantado?
Did I have my prince charming?
Sou José fazendo o berço para o filho de outro pai
I am José making the cradle for another man's child
Sou a mãe de um assassino, que não vê os seus sinais
I am the mother of a murderer, who doesn't see his signs
E penteia os seus cabelos e lhe beija a testa em paz
And I comb his hair and kiss his forehead in peace
O amor não escolhe pra onde vai
Love doesn't choose where it goes
As mulheres no convento que agora limpam minhas feridas
The women in the convent who now clean my wounds
'Você andou por muito tempo?' Elas perguntam curiosas
'Have you been walking for a long time?' They ask curiously
Eu sou um homem de pecado, estou sujando suas mãos limpas
I am a sinful man, I am dirtying their clean hands
Mas elas dizem que até gostam mais
But they say they even like it more
Eu acho horrível e bonito que o amor
I find it horrible and beautiful that love
Não escolhe pra onde vai
Doesn't choose where it goes
E o menino adolescente na aula de educação física
And the teenage boy in gym class
Brigando com seus olhos nos colegas sem camisa
Fighting with his eyes at the shirtless classmates
Mariposas no inverno indo à luz das lamparinas
Moths in winter going to the light of the lamps
Já sabendo que ali terão os seus finais
Already knowing that there they will have their ends
Eu acho horrível e bonito que o amor
I find it horrible and beautiful that love
Não escolhe pra onde vai
Doesn't choose where it goes
Eu acho horrível e bonito que o amor
I find it horrible and beautiful that love
Não escolhe pra onde vai
Doesn't choose where it goes
E o tempo leva tudo, entendo
And time takes everything, I understand
Mas moram eternas em mim essas coisas
But these things live eternally in me
Que a terra não pode tocar
That the earth cannot touch
E se Deus de fato é justo e eu espero que Ele seja
And if God is indeed just, and I hope He is
Há de se ter outro mundo pra quem segue o que deseja
There must be another world for those who follow what they desire
O menino adolescente, a mãe, José, as freiras que já não insistem mais
The teenage boy, the mother, José, the nuns who no longer insist
Se você assim nos faz que nos deixe ir em paz
If you make us like this, let us go in peace
Eu acho horrível e bonito que o amor
I find it horrible and beautiful that love
Não escolhe pra onde vai
Doesn't choose where it goes
