Lyrics
E eu que andava nessa escuridão,
De repente foi me acontecer.
Me roubou o sono e a solidão,
Me mostrou o que eu temia ver.
Sem pedir licença nem perdão,
Veio louca pra me enlouquecer.
Vou dormir querendo despertar,
Pra depois de novo conviver
Com essa luz que veio me habitar,
Com esse fogo que me faz arder.
Me dá medo e vem me encorajar,
Fatalmente me fará sofrer.
Ando escravo da alegria.
Hoje em dia, minha gente,
Isso não é normal.
Se o amor é fantasia,
Eu me encontro ultimamente
Em pleno carnaval.
Lyrics translation
And I who walked in this darkness,
Suddenly it happened to me.
Stole my sleep and loneliness,
He showed me what I was afraid to see.
Without asking for forgiveness or forgiveness,
She came mad to drive me crazy.
I'm going to sleep wanting to wake up,
To live again
With this light that came to inhabit me,
With that fire that makes me burn.
It scares me and comes to encourage me,
It will fatally make me suffer.
I'm a slave to Joy.
Nowadays, my people,
That's not normal.
If Love is fantasy,
I meet lately
In the middle of Carnival.
