FOR YOU
Não adianta nem me abandonar
Porque mistério sempre há de pintar por aí
Pessoas até muito mais vão lhe amar
Até muito mais difíceis que eu prá você
Que eu, que dois, que dez, que dez milhões, todos iguais
Até que nem tanto esotérico assim
Se eu sou algo incompreensível, meu Deus é mais

It doesn’t matter if you abandon me
Because there will always be mystery in the world.
More people will love you
Way more difficult than I am to you
I, two, ten, ten million, all the same.
I’m not that esoteric
If I am incomprehensible, my God is more

Peace, Love and Joy
Katia : )
