The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Absurdo" by Vanessa Da Mata.
Lyrics
Havia tanto pra lhe contar
A natureza
Mudava a forma o estado e o lugar
Era absurdo
Havia tanto pra lhe mostrar
Era tão belo
Mas olhe agora o estrago em que está
Tapetes fartos de folhas e flores
O chão do mundo se varre aqui
Essa idéia do natural ser sujo
Do inorgânico não se faz
Destruição é reflexo do humano
Se a ambição desumana o Ser
Essa imagem de infértil deserto
Nunca pensei que chegasse aqui
Auto-destrutivos
Falsas vitimas nocivas?
Havia tanto pra aproveitar
Sem poderio
Tantas histórias, tantos sabores
Capins dourados
Havia tanto pra respirar
Era tão fino
Naqueles rios a gente banhava
Desmatam tudo e reclamam do tempo
Que ironia conflitante ser
Desequilíbrio que alimenta as pragas
Alterado grão, alterado pão
Sujamos rios, dependemos das águas
Tanto faz os meios violentos
Luxúria é ética do perverso vivo
Morto por dinheiro
Cores, tantas cores
Tais belezas
Foram-se
Versos e estrelas
Tantas fadas que eu não vi
Falsos bens, progresso?
Com a mãe, ingratidão
Deram o galinheiro
Pra raposa vigiar
Lyrics translation
There was so much to tell you
Nature
Changed the shape the state and the place
It was absurd
There was so much to show you
It was so beautiful
But look now at the damage you're in
Carpets full of leaves and flowers
The floor of the world sweeps here
This idea of natural being dirty
From inorganic is not done
Destruction is a reflection of the human
If inhuman ambition is
This image of infertile desert
I never thought I'd get here.
Self-destructive
False harmful victims?
There was so much to enjoy
Without power
So many stories, so many flavors
Golden grass
There was so much to breathe
It was so thin
In those rivers we bathed
They DeForest everything and complain about time
What a conflicting irony to be
Imbalance that feeds pests
Changed grain, changed bread
We dirty rivers, we depend on the waters
Whatever the violent means
Lust is the ethics of the living pervert
Killed for money
Colors, so many colors
Such beauties
They're gone.
Verses and stars
So many fairies that I did not see
False goods, progress?
With the mother, ingratitude
They gave the chicken coop
For Fox watch
