Full lyrics
Tô precisando pôr o pé na estrada
Seguir em frente e sem direção
Como quem parte e não procura nada
Sentir enfim a paz da solidão
Tô precisando me encontrar comigo
Em algum lugar que não tenha ninguém
Onde o silêncio seja o grande amigo
E o esquecimento seja o grande bem
Tô precisando descobrir a essência
Do que já fui e que deixei de ser
Plantar na alma o dom da paciência
Sentir na pele o sopro do viver
Tô precisando retirar dos ombros
O peso certo do viver em graça
Me libertar enfim desses escombros
Onde vegeto enquanto a vida passa
Tô precisando retirar dos ombros
O peso certo do viver em graça
Me libertar enfim desses escombros
Onde vegeto enquanto a vida passa
Ê, ê
Ê, ê
Ê, ê, lalaraiê
Ê, ê
Ê, ê
Ê, ê, laraiê, laraiê
Tô precisando descobrir a essência
Do que já fui e que deixei de ser
Plantar na alma o dom da paciência
Sentir na pele o sopro do viver
Tô precisando retirar dos ombros
O peso certo do viver em graça
Me libertar enfim desses escombros
Onde vegeto enquanto a vida passa
Tô precisando retirar dos ombros
O peso certo do viver em graça
Me libertar enfim desses escombros
Onde vegeto enquanto a vida passa
Ê, ê
Ê, ê
Ê, ê, lalaraiê
Ê, ê
Ê, ê
Ê, ê, laraiê, laraiê
Translation
I need to hit the road
Go forward with no direction
Like someone who leaves and seeks nothing
To finally feel the peace of solitude
I need to find myself
Somewhere where there's no one
Where silence is the great friend
And forgetting is the great good
I need to discover the essence
Of what I once was and ceased to be
Plant in my soul the gift of patience
Feel on my skin the breath of living
I need to remove from my shoulders
The certain weight of living in grace
To finally free myself from these ruins
Where I vegetate while life passes by
I need to remove from my shoulders
The certain weight of living in grace
To finally free myself from these ruins
Where I vegetate while life passes by
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, lalaraiê
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, laraiê, laraiê
I need to discover the essence
Of what I once was and ceased to be
Plant in my soul the gift of patience
Feel on my skin the breath of living
I need to remove from my shoulders
The certain weight of living in grace
To finally free myself from these ruins
Where I vegetate while life passes by
I need to remove from my shoulders
The certain weight of living in grace
To finally free myself from these ruins
Where I vegetate while life passes by
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, lalaraiê
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, laraiê, laraiê
