Ah, se já perdemos a noção da hora!
Ah, if we've already lost track of time!
Se juntos já jogamos tudo fora
If together we've thrown everything away,
Me conta agora como hei de partir!
Tell me now how I should depart!
Ah... Se, ao te conhecer, dei pra sonhar
Ah... If, upon meeting you, I began to dream,
Fiz tantos desvarios
I did so many crazy things,
Rompi com o mundo, queimei meus navios...
I broke with the world, I burned my ships...
Me diz pra onde é que inda posso ir?
Tell me where I can still go?
Se nós, nas travessuras das noites eternas
If we, in the mischief of eternal nights,
Já confundimos tanto as nossas pernas
Have tangled up our legs so much,
Diz com que pernas eu devo seguir!...
Tell me with which legs I should move on!...
Se entornaste a nossa sorte pelo chão
You spilled our fate on the floor
Se, na bagunça do teu coração
If, in the chaos of your heart
Meu sangue errou de veias e se perdeu...
My blood strayed from its veins and got lost...
Como? Se na desordem do armário embutido
How? If in the disorder of the closet
Meu paletó enlaça o teu vestido
My suit embraces your dress
E o meu sapato ainda pisa no teu...
And my shoe still steps on yours...
Como? Se nos amamos feito dois pagãos
How? If we loved each other like two pagans
Teus seios ainda estão nas minhas mãos
Your breasts are still in my hands
Me explica com que cara eu vou sair...
Explain to me with what face I'm going to go out...
Não, acho que estás te fazendo de tonta
No, I think you're just acting silly
Te dei meus olhos pra tomares conta
I gave you my eyes to take care of
Agora conta como hei de partir...
Now tell me how I should depart...
