The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Quero Ser Justo" by Caetano Veloso.

Lyrics

Disse que vinha, e veio, lá do Norte
O mar nos olhos
Era noite sem vento e eu nem cri na minha sorte
Houve curiosidade, um calmo susto, alguma palidez
Por trás do ouro do seu rosto
Quero ser justo
Mesmo que não pudéssemos manter a lua cheia acesa
Ou não, ainda,
Nem no seu nem no meu coração
Eu vi você
Uma das coisas mais lindas da natureza
E da civilização

Lyrics translation

He said he was coming, and he came from the North.
The sea in the eyes
It was windless night and I did not even believe in my luck
There was curiosity, a calm fright, some pallor
Behind the gold of your face
I want to be fair
Even if we couldn't keep the full moon lit
Or not, yet,
Neither in your Nor in my heart
I saw you
One of the most beautiful things in nature
And civilization
