Prefiro ser
I prefer to be
Essa metamorfose ambulante
This walking metamorphosis
Eu prefiro ser
I prefer to be
Essa metamorfose ambulante
This walking metamorphosis
Do que ter aquela velha opinião
Than to hold that old opinion
Formada sobre tudo
Formed about everything
Do que ter aquela velha opinião
Than to hold that old opinion
Formada sobre tudo
Formed about everything
Eu quero dizer
I want to say
Agora o oposto do que eu disse antes
Now the opposite of what I said before
Eu prefiro ser
I prefer to be
Essa metamorfose ambulante
This walking metamorphosis
Do que ter aquela velha opinião
Than to have that old opinion
Formada sobre tudo
Formed about everything
Do que ter aquela velha opinião
Than to have that old opinion
Formada sobre tudo
Formed about everything
Sobre o que é o amor
About what love is
Sobre o que eu nem sei quem sou
About who I don't even know I am
Se hoje eu sou estrela, amanhã já se apagou
If today I'm a star, tomorrow I'm already gone
Se hoje eu te odeio, amanhã lhe tenho amor
If today I hate you, tomorrow I love you
Lhe tenho amor, lhe tenho horror
I love you, I fear you
Lhe faço amor, eu sou um ator
I make love to you, I am an actor
É chato chegar
It's boring to arrive
A um objetivo num instante
At a goal in an instant
Eu quero viver
I want to live
Nessa metamorfose ambulante
In this walking metamorphosis
Do que ter aquela velha opinião
Than to have that old opinion
Formada sobre tudo
Formed about everything
Do que ter aquela velha opinião
Than to have that old opinion
Formada sobre tudo
Formed about everything
Sobre o que é o amor
What is love about
Sobre o que eu nem sei quem sou
About what I don't even know who I am
Se hoje eu sou estrela, amanhã já se apagou
If today I'm a star, tomorrow I'll have faded away
Se hoje eu te odeio, amanhã lhe tenho amor
If today I hate you, tomorrow I love you
Lhe tenho amor, lhe tenho horror
I love you, I loathe you
Lhe faço amor, eu sou um ator
I make love to you, I'm an actor
Eu vou desdizer
I will take back
Aquilo tudo que eu lhe disse antes
All those things I told you before
Eu prefiro ser
I prefer to be
Essa metamorfose ambulante
This walking metamorphosis
Do que ter aquela velha opinião
Than to have that old opinion
Formada sobre tudo
Formed about everything
Do que ter aquela velha opinião
Than to have that old opinion
Formada sobre tudo
Formed about everything
Do que ter aquela velha opinião
Than to have that old opinion
Formada sobre tudo
Formed about everything
Do que ter aquela velha, velha, velha, velha opinião
Than to have that old, old, old, old opinion
Formada sobre tudo
Formed about everything
Do que ter aquela velha (aquela velha) opinião
Than to have that old (that old) opinion
Formada (opinião formada) sobre tudo
Formed (formed opinion) about everything
Do que ter aquela velha opinião
Than to have that old opinion
Formada, opinião formada sobre tudo
Formed, an opinion formed about everything
Do que ter aquela velha, velha, velha
Than to have that old, old, old
Velha, velha opinião formada sobre tudo
Old, old opinion formed about everything
Do que ter aquela velha opinião
Than to have that old opinion
