Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Água No Bico by Paula Fernandes from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Melhor ser água de mar
Better to be sea water
Do que ser água de poço
Than being well water
Água parada da bicho
Animal stop water
Mexe na água seu moço
Stir in the water, boy
Têm gente que não se move
There are people who don't move
É devagar quase parando
It's slow almost stopping
Deixa a vida estagnada
Leaves life stagnant
Tá dormindo acordada
You're sleeping awake
Nem vê que ela tá passando
You can't even see she's passing
Parece que a moda agora
It seems that fashion now
É ficar se consumindo
It's about consuming yourself
A mesma mente que cria
The same mind that creates
Acaba se destruindo
Ends up destroying itself
Nosso planeta precisa
Our planet needs
Que o homem seja humano
May man be human
O que será de seus filhos
What will become of your children
Se a terra corre perigo
If the earth is in danger
E a água tá acabando
And the water's running out
Já sinto falta de ar
I already miss the air
Só de pensar no futuro
Just thinking about the future
Poluição e descaso
Pollution and outof-the-way
Fazem fumaça de tudo
They smoke everything
Aquilo que era um céu
What was a sky
Virou um espaço imundo
It's become a world-deep space
Da tristeza de dizer
Of the sadness of saying
O que eu gostava de ver
What I'd like to see
Virou portal pro fim do mundo
It's become a gateway to the end of the world
Um ditado popular
A popular saying
Preste atenção no que eu digo
Pay attention to what I say
Na mata que pega fogo
In the fire-burning forest
Tiziu leva água no bico
Tiziu carries water in the beak
Ele sabe que sozinho
He knows that alone
Vai fazer a diferença
It's going to make a difference
Levando devagarinho
Taking it slowly
Pouca água no biquinho
Little water in the
Curador da consciência
Curator of consciousness
Eu fiz essa moda agora
I've made this fashion now
Pra tocar seu sentimento
To touch your feeling
A natureza é passiva
Nature is passive
Mas cobra em algum momento
But snake at some point
Se a gente tivesse asa
If we had a wings
Fosse igual ao passarinho
It was the same as the bird
Tinha vergonha na cara
I was ashamed in my face
Enchia o bico de água
Filled the water spout
E não queimava o próprio ninho
And he didn't burn his own nest
