Mistérios Lyrics in English Milton Nascimento
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mistérios by Milton Nascimento from Portuguese to English.
Um fogo queimou dentro de mim
A fire burned inside of me
Que não tem mais jeito de se apagar
That there's no way to put out
Nem mesmo com toda água do mar
Not even with all the water from the sea
Preciso aprender os mistérios do fogo
I need to learn the mysteries of fire
Pra te incendiar
To set you ablaze
Um rio passou dentro de mim
A river passed inside of me
Que eu não tive jeito de atravessar
That I couldn't find a way to cross
Preciso um navio pra me levar
I need a ship to take me
Preciso aprender os mistérios do rio pra te navegar
I need to learn the mysteries of the river to navigate you
Vida breve, natureza
Brief life, nature
Quem mandou, coração
Who ordered it, heart
Um vento bateu dentro de mim
A wind blew inside of me
Que eu não tive jeito de segurar
That I couldn't find a way to hold back
A vida passou pra me carregar
Life passed by to carry me
Preciso aprender os mistérios do mundo pra te ensinar
I need to learn the mysteries of the world to teach you
Um vento bateu dentro de mim
A wind blew inside of me
Que eu não tive jeito de segurar
That I couldn't find a way to hold back
A vida passou pra me carregar
Life passed by to carry me
Preciso aprender os mistérios do mundo pra te ensinar
I need to learn the mysteries of the world to teach you
Preciso aprender os mistérios do mundo pra te ensinar
I need to learn the mysteries of the world to teach you
