Mas pra quê
But for what
Pra que tanto céu
For what so much sky
Pra que tanto mar, pra quê?
For what so much sea, for what?
De que serve esta onda que quebra
What good is this wave that breaks
E o vento da tarde
And the afternoon wind
De que serve a tarde?
What good is the afternoon?
Inútil paisagem
Useless landscape
Pode ser
It could be
Que não venhas mais
That you won't come anymore
Que não voltes nunca mais
That you never come back again
De que servem as flores que nascem
What good are the flowers that bloom
Pelos caminhos
Along the paths
Se o meu caminho
If my path
Sozinho é nada?
Alone is nothing?
De que servem as flores que nascem
What good are the flowers that bloom
Pelos caminhos
Along the paths
Se o meu caminho
If my path
Sozinho é nada?
Alone is nothing?
É nada
Is nothing
É nada
Is nothing
É nada
It's nothing
