Lyrics

As borboletas estão voando
A dança louca das borboletas
Quem vai voar não quer dançar
só quer voar, a voar
Quem vai voar não quer dançar
só quer voar, a voar
E as borboletas estão girando
Estão virando a sua cabeça
Quem vai girar não quer cair
só quer girar, não caia!
Quem vai girar não quer cair
só quer girar, não caia!
And the butterflies are invading
the apartments, cines and bars
Sewers and rivers, lakes and seas
In a «de arrepiar» twirl
Destroying windows and glass doors
Escalators and in the chimneys
They sit and «pousam» in the smog
In a rainbow if knows what it is Se sabe o que é…Se sabe o que é…
Se sabe o que é…Se sabe o que é…
E as borboletas estão invadindo
os apartamentos, cinemas e bares
Esgotos e rios e lagos e mares
Em um rodopio de arrepiar
Derrubam janelas e portas de vidro
Escadas rolantes e nas chaminés
Se sentam e pousam em meio à fumaça
Em um arco-íris se sabe o que é
Se sabe o que é…Se sabe o que é…
Se sabe o que é…Se sabe o que é…
Se sabe o que é…Se sabe o que é…
Se sabe o que é…Se sabe o que é…
Se sabe o que é…Se sabe o que é…
Se sabe o que é…Se sabe o que é…

Lyrics translation

Butterflies are flying
The crazy dance of butterflies
Who will fly does not want to dance
just want to fly, fly
Who will fly does not want to dance
just want to fly, fly
And the butterflies are spinning
They're turning their heads
Who will spin does not want to fall
just want to spin, don't fall!
Who will spin does not want to fall
just want to spin, don't fall!
And the butterflies are invading
the apartments, cinemas and bars
Sewers and rivers, lakes and seas
In a "creepy" twirl
Destroying windows and glass doors
Escalators and in the chimneys
They sit and "pousam" in the smog
In a rainbow if you know what it is you know what é...Se you know what it is…
If you know what é...Se you know what it is…
And the butterflies are invading
the apartments, cinemas and bars
Sewers and rivers and lakes and seas
On a twirl of shivering
Knock down windows and glass doors
Escalators and chimneys
They sit and land in the smoke
In a rainbow you know what it is
If you know what é...Se you know what it is…
If you know what é...Se you know what it is…
If you know what é...Se you know what it is…
If you know what é...Se you know what it is…
If you know what é...Se you know what it is…
If you know what é...Se you know what it is…
