No mundo deserto de almas negras
In the desert world of black souls
Me visto de branco
I dress in white
Me curo da vida sofrida, sentida
I heal from the suffering life, felt
Que deram pra mim
That was given to me
No mundo deserto de almas negras
In the desert world of black souls
Sorriso não nego
I don't deny my smile
Mas vejo um sol cego
But I see a blind sun
Querendo queimar o que resta de mim
Wanting to burn what remains of me
Vivo no mundo deserto de almas negras
I live in the desert world of black souls
Vivo no mundo deserto de almas negras
I live in the desert world of black souls
Vivo no mundo deserto de almas negras
I live in a world desert of black souls
Vivo no mundo deserto de almas negras
I live in a world desert of black souls
Na vontade da verdade
In the will of truth
Eu quero ficar
I want to stay
E não acredito no dito maldito
And I don't believe in the cursed saying
Que o amor já morreu
That love is already dead
Tenho fé que o meu país
I have faith that my country
'Inda vai dar amor pro mundo
'Still will give love to the world
Um amor tão profundo, tão grande
A love so deep, so great
Que vai reviver quem morreu
That it will revive those who have died
Vivo no mundo deserto de almas negras
I live in a desert world of black souls
Vivo no mundo deserto de almas negras
I live in a desert world of black souls
Vivo no mundo deserto de almas negras
I live in a desert world of black souls
Vivo no mundo deserto de almas negras
I live in a desert world of black souls
Vivo no mundo deserto de almas negras
I live in a desert world of black souls
Vivo no mundo deserto de almas negras
I live in a desert world of black souls
Vivo no mundo deserto de almas negras
I live in a desert world of black souls
Vivo no mundo deserto de almas negras
I live in a desert world of black souls
Na vontade de verdade
In the will for truth
Eu quero ficar
I want to stay
E não acredito no dito maldito
And I don't believe in the cursed saying
Que o amor já morreu
That love is already dead
Tenho fé que o meu país
I have faith that my country
'Inda vai dar amor pro mundo
Still will give love to the world
Um amor tão profundo, tão grande
A love so deep, so grand
Que vai reviver quem morreu
That it will revive those who have died
Vivo no mundo deserto de almas negras
I live in a world deserted of black souls
Vivo no mundo deserto de almas negras
I live in a world deserted of black souls
Vivo no mundo deserto de almas negras
I live in a world deserted of black souls
Vivo no mundo deserto de almas negras
I live in a world deserted of black souls
Vivo!
Alive!
