(Ave maria que é isso, quanta repetição)
(Hail Mary, what is this, so much repetition)
Astronauta libertado
Free astronaut
Minha vida me ultrapassa
My life surpasses me
Em qualquer rota que eu faça
On any path I take
Dei um grito no escuro
I shouted in the dark
Sou parceiro do futuro
I'm a partner of the future
Na reluzente galáxia
In the shining galaxy
Astronauta libertado
Free astronaut
Minha vida me ultrapassa
My life surpasses me
Em qualquer rota que eu faça
On any path I take
Dei um grito no escuro
I shouted into the dark
Sou parceiro do futuro
I am a partner of the future
Na reluzente galáxia
In the shining galaxy
Eu quase posso palpar
I can almost reach out and touch
A minha vida que grita
My life that screams
Emprenha e se reproduz
Conceives and reproduces
Na velocidade da luz
At the speed of light
A cor do céu me compõe
The color of the sky composes me
O mar azul me dissolve
The blue sea dissolves me
A equação me propõe
The equation proposes to me
Computador me resolve
The computer resolves me
Astronauta libertado
Freed astronaut
Minha vida me ultrapassa
My life surpasses me
Em qualquer rota que eu faça
In any route I take
Dei um grito no escuro
I shouted in the dark
Sou parceiro do futuro
I'm a partner of the future
Na reluzente galáxia
In the shining galaxy
Astronauta libertado

Minha vida me ultrapassa
My life overwhelms me
Em qualquer rota que eu faça
On any path that I take
Dei um grito no escuro
I shouted into the dark
Sou parceiro do futuro
I'm a partner of the future
Na reluzente galáxia
In the shining galaxy
Nos braços de dois mil anos
In the arms of two thousand years
Eu nasci sem ter idade
I was born without age
Sou casado sou solteiro
I'm married, I'm single
Sou baiano e estrangeiro
I'm from Bahia and I'm a foreigner
Meu sangue é de gasolina
My blood is made of gasoline
Correndo não tenho mágoa
Running, I hold no sorrow
Meu peito é de sal de fruta
My heart is made of fruit salt
Fervendo num copo d'água
Boiling in a glass of water
Astronauta libertado
Freed astronaut
Minha vida me ultrapassa
My life surpasses me
Em qualquer rota que eu faça
On any path that I take
Dei um grito no escuro
I let out a scream in the dark
Sou parceiro do futuro
I'm a partner of the future
Na reluzente galáxia
In the shining galaxy
Astronauta libertado
Freed astronaut
Minha vida me ultrapassa
My life surpasses me
Em qualquer rota que eu faça
In any route that I take
Dei um grito no escuro
I shouted into the dark
Sou parceiro do futuro
