These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Eu falo de amor à vida, você de medo da morte
I speak of love of life, you of fear of death
Eu falo da força do acaso e você, de azar ou sorte
I speak of the force of chance and you, of chance or luck
Eu ando num labirinto
I walk in a maze
E você, numa estrada em linha reta
And you, on a straight road
Te chamo pra festa mas você só quer atingir sua meta
I call you to the party but you just want to reach your goal
Sua meta é a seta no alvo
Your goal is the arrow on target
Mas o alvo, na certa não te espera
But the target, it sure doesn't wait for you
Eu olho pro infinito e você, de óculos escuros
I look to infinity and you, in sunglasses
Eu digo: 'te amo' e você só acredita quando eu juro
I say, 'I love you' and you only believe when I swear
Eu lanço minha alma no espaço
I cast my soul into space
Você pisa os pés na terra
You step on the ground
Eu experimento o futuro
I experience the future
E você só lamenta não ser o que era
And you just regret not being what it was
E o que era era a seta no alvo
And what it was was the arrow on the target
Mas o alvo, na certa não te espera
But the target, it sure doesn't wait for you
Eu grito por liberdade, você deixa a porta se fechar
I scream for freedom, you let the door close
Eu quero saber a verdade
I want to know the truth
E você se preocupa em não se machucar
And you worry about not getting hurt
Eu corro todos os riscos
I take all the risks
Você diz que não tem mais vontade
You say you don't feel like it anymore
Eu me ofereço inteiro, e você se satisfaz com metade
I offer myself whole, and you satisfy yourself with half
É a meta de uma seta no alvo
It's the goal of an arrow on target
Mas o alvo, na certa não te espera
But the target, it sure doesn't wait for you
Então me diz qual é a graça
So tell me what's the fun
De já saber o fim da estrada
To already know the end of the road
Quando se parte rumo ao nada
When you go into nothing
Sempre a meta de uma seta no alvo
Always the goal of an arrow on target
Mas o alvo, na certa não te espera
But the target, it sure doesn't wait for you
Então me diz qual é a graça
So tell me what's the fun
De já saber o fim da estrada
To already know the end of the road
Quando se parte rumo ao nada
When you go into nothing
