Full lyrics

Amigo olhe a poeira olhe a estrada

Olhe os garranchos que arranham pensamentos

Entre o cascalho vá separando os espinhos

Não esqueça que os caminhos são difíceis pra danar


Nem todo atalho diminui uma distância

Nem toda ânsia no final tem alegria

Veja na flor que o espinho lhe vigia

A noite adormece o dia e a lua vem lhe ninar


Devagarinho vá pelo cheiro das flores

Siga os amores nunca deixe pra depois

Nem tudo é certo como quatro é dois e dois

Nem todo amor merece todo coração


Se a poesia ainda não lhe trouxe o fermento

E o sofrimento entre o amor ganhou a vez

Nem tudo é eterno quando a gente ama


Por isso amigo não se entregue agora

Talvez um dia o mundo lhe peça perdão

Por isso não se perca não

Os amores vão e a gente fica

Translation

Friend, look at the dust, look at the road

Look at the thorns that scratch thoughts

Among the gravel, go separating the thorns

Don't forget that the paths are damn difficult


Not every shortcut shortens a distance

Not every longing has joy in the end

See in the flower that the thorn watches over you

The night puts the day to sleep and the moon comes to lull you


Slowly, go by the scent of the flowers

Follow loves, never leave for later

Not everything is as certain as four is two and two

Not every love deserves every heart


If poetry hasn't yet brought you the leaven

And suffering, among love, won its turn

Not everything is eternal when we love


Therefore, friend, don't give up now

Perhaps one day the world will ask you for forgiveness

So don't get lost

Loves go and we remain
