Bem Que Se Quis Lyrics in English by Marisa Monte

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bem Que Se Quis by Marisa Monte from Portuguese to English.
Bem que se quis
I sure wanted to
Depois de tudo
After everything
Ainda ser feliz
Still be happy
Mas já não há
But there's no
Caminhos pra voltar
Way back
E o que que a vida fez
And what did life
Da nossa vida?
Do to our life?
O que é que a gente
What don't we
Não faz por amor?
Do for love?
Mas tanto faz
But whatever
Já me esqueci
I've already forgotten
De te esquecer porque
To forget you 'cause
O teu desejo
Your desire
É meu melhor prazer
Is my best pleasure
E o meu destino
And my fate
É querer sempre mais
Is to always want more
A minha estrada corre
My road runs
Pro seu mar
Toward your sea
Agora vem pra perto, vem
Now come closer, come
Vem depressa, vem sem fim
Come quick, come without end
Dentro de mim
Inside me
Que eu quero sentir
'Cause I wanna feel
O teu corpo pesando
Your body weighing
Sobre o meu
On mine
Vem, meu amor, vem pra mim
Come, my love, come to me
Me abraça devagar
Hold me slowly
Me beija e me faz esquecer
Kiss me and make me forget
Bem que se quis
I sure wanted to
Depois de tudo
After everything
Ainda ser feliz
Still be happy
Mas já não há
But there's no
Caminhos pra voltar
Way back
O que é que a vida fez
What life did
Da nossa vida?
Do to our life?
O que que a gente
What we
Não faz por amor?
Do for love?
Mas tanto faz
But whatever
Já me esqueci
I've already forgotten
De te esquecer porque
To forget you 'cause
O teu desejo
Your desire
É meu melhor prazer
Is my best pleasure
E o meu destino
And my fate
É querer sempre mais
Is to always want more
A minha estrada corre
My road runs
Pro seu mar
Toward your sea
Agora vem pra perto, vem
Now come closer, come
Vem depressa, vem sem fim
Come quick, come without end
Dentro de mim
Inside me
Que eu quero sentir
'Cause I wanna feel
O teu corpo pesando
Your body weighing
Sobre o meu
On mine
Vem, meu amor, vem pra mim
Come, my love, come to me
Me abraça devagar
Hold me slowly
Me beija e me faz esquecer
Kiss me and make me forget
Bem que se quis
I sure wanted to
