Ah, bem melhor seria
Ah, it would be much better
Poder viver em paz
To be able to live in peace
Sem ter que sofrer
Without having to suffer
Sem ter que chorar
Without having to cry
Sem ter que querer
Without having to want
Sem ter que se dar
Without having to give
Ah, bem melhor seria
Ah, it would be much better
Poder viver em paz
To be able to live in peace
Sem ter que sofrer
Without having to suffer
Sem ter que chorar
Without having to cry
E ter que querer
And having to desire
Sem ter que se dar
Without having to give
Mas tem que sofrer
But you have to suffer
Mas tem que chorar
But you have to cry
E tem que querer
And you have to want
Pra poder amar
To be able to love
Ah, mundo enganador
Ah, deceiving world
Paz não quer mais dizer amor
Peace no longer means love
Ah, não existe coisa mais triste que ter paz
Ah, there's nothing sadder than having peace
E se arrepender, e se conformar
And to regret, and to accept
E se proteger de um amor a mais
And to protect oneself from one love too many
O tempo de amor
The time of love
É tempo de dor
Is the time of pain
O tempo de paz
The time of peace
Não faz nem desfaz
Doesn't create or erase
Ah, que não seja meu
Ah, may it not be mine
O mundo onde o amor morreu
The world where love has died
Ah, não existe coisa mais triste que ter paz
Ah, there’s nothing sadder than having peace
E se arrepender, e se conformar
And to regret, and to accept
E se proteger de um amor a mais
And to protect oneself from one love too many
Mas tem que sofrer
But you have to suffer
E tem que chorar
And you have to cry
E tem que querer
And you have to want
Pra poder amar
To be able to love
Ah, mundo enganador
Ah, deceiving world
Paz não quer mais dizer amor
Peace no longer means love
Ah, não existe coisa mais triste que ter paz
Ah, there's nothing sadder than having peace
E se arrepender, e se conformar
And to regret, and to settle
E se proteger de um amor a mais
And to protect yourself from one more love
