Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Regras De Sensatez by Raquel Tavares from Portuguese to English.
Nunca voltes ao lugar
Never go back to the place
Onde já foste feliz
Where you've been happy
Por muito que o coração diga
No as much as the heart says
Não faças o que ele diz
Don't do what he says
Nunca mais voltes à casa
Don't ever come home again
Onde ardeste de paixão
Where you've snare with passion
Só encontrarás erva rasa
You'll only find shallow grass
Por entre as lajes do chão
Through the slabs of the floor
Nada do que por lá vires
Nothing to come there
Será como no passado
It will be like in the past
Não queiras reacender
You don't want to rekindle
Um lume já apagado
A fire already extinguished
São as regras da sensatez
It's the rules of wisdom
Vais sair a dizer que desta, desta é de vez
You're going to go out and say this one, this is for good
Por grande a tentação
By great temptation
Que te crie a saudade
That creates your longing
Não mates a recordação
Don't kill the memory
Que lembra a felicidade
That reminds you of happiness
Nunca voltes ao lugar
Never go back to the place
Onde o arco-íris se pôs
Where the rainbow stood
Só encontrarás a cinza
You'll only find the ash
Que dá na garganta nós
What gives in the throat we
São as regras da sensatez
It's the rules of wisdom
Vais sair a dizer que desta, desta é de vez
You're going to go out and say this one, this is for good
Desta é de vez
This is for good
Só mais uma vez
Just one more time
Só mais uma vez
Just one more time
Só mais uma vez
Just one more time
