Absurdo Lyrics in English Vanessa da Mata
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Absurdo by Vanessa da Mata from Portuguese to English.
Havia tanto pra lhe contar
There was so much to tell you
A natureza
The nature
Mudava a forma o estado e o lugar
The shape, state and place changed
Era absurdo
It was absurd
Havia tanto pra lhe mostrar
There was so much to show you
Era tão belo
It was so beautiful
Mas olhe agora o estrago em que está
But look now at the damage you are in
Tapetes fartos de folhas e flores
Carpets full of leaves and flowers
O chão do mundo se varre aqui
The floor of the world is swept here
Essa ideia do natural ser sujo
This idea of natural being dirty
Do inorgânico não se faz
You can't make inorganic things
Destruição é reflexo do humano
Destruction is a reflection of the human
Se a ambição desumana o Ser
If ambition inhumane the Being
Essa imagem infértil do deserto
This infertile image of the desert
Nunca pensei que chegasse aqui
I never thought I'd get here
Auto-destrutivos
Self-destructive
Falsas vitimas nocivas?
Harmful false victims?
Havia tanto pra aproveitar
There was so much to enjoy
Sem poderio
Without power
Tantas histórias, tantos sabores
So many stories, so many flavors
Capins dourados
golden grasses
Havia tanto pra respirar
There was so much to breathe
Era tão fino
It was so thin
Naqueles rios a gente banhava
In those rivers we bathed
Desmatam tudo e reclamam do tempo
They deforest everything and complain about the weather
Que ironia conflitante ser
What a conflicting irony to be
Desequilíbrio que alimenta as pragas
Imbalance that feeds pests
Alterado grão, alterado pão
Changed grain, changed bread
Sujamos rios, dependemos das águas
We dirty rivers, we depend on water
Tanto faz os meios violentos
Whatever the violent means
Luxúria é ética do perverso vivo
Lust is the ethics of the living pervert
Morto por dinheiro
Killed for money
Cores, tantas cores
Colors, so many colors
Tais belezas
Such beauties
Foram-se
They are gone
Versos e estrelas
Verses and stars
Tantas fadas que eu não vi
So many fairies that I haven't seen
Falsos bens, progresso?
False goods, progress?
Com a mãe, ingratidão
With the mother, ingratitude
Deram o galinheiro
They gave the chicken coop
Pra raposa vigiar
For the fox to watch
