Contrabandearei tudo o que penso
I'll smuggle everything I think
E que sinto pelo imenso labirinto
And everything I feel through the vast maze
Contrabandearei tudo o que penso
I'll smuggle everything I think
E que sinto pelo imenso labirinto
And everything I feel through the vast maze
Sem fim maior ô-ô-ô
With no greater end, oh-oh-oh
Que o labirinto
Than the maze
Do Minotauro em Creta
Of the Minotaur in Crete
A lei do amor me arrasta
The law of love pulls me in
Essa lei me basta
This law is enough for me
Essa lei ninguém decreta
This law no one decrees
Será que o profeta
Is the prophet
Sempre prega no deserto?
Always preaching in the desert?
Eis por que talvez
Here is why maybe
Você nunca esteja aqui por perto
You might never be here close by
Será que o profeta
Is the prophet
Sempre prega no deserto?
Always preaching in the desert?
Eis por que talvez
Here is why maybe
Você nunca esteja aqui por perto
You might never be here close by
Mas estas coisas assim
But these things like this
Nós nunca, jamais
We never, ever
Vamos saber ao certo
Let's find out for sure
Contrabandearei tudo o que penso
I'll smuggle everything I think
E que sinto pelo imenso labirinto
And what I feel through the vast labyrinth
Contrabandearei tudo o que penso
I'll smuggle everything I think
E que sinto pelo imenso labirinto
And what I feel through the vast labyrinth
