Full lyrics
O suor está seco sobre a pele
Lágrima corre a face em rios
Um braço que se estende em desvario
Um canto desafino em desafio
O ar arrasta o sangue e finda a dor
O passo se aperta, disparada
Se alarga num instante tardio
A pressa ao encontro da esperança
O corpo entristece em arrepios
Recebe a sina, assume nova cor
A sede que nunca se alimenta
A fome é mais um copo vazio
Os dias de espera se acumulam
O susto, evidência da história
A vida anuncia o fim do amor
Translation
The sweat is dry on the skin
Tears run down the face in rivers
An arm that extends in delirium
A song out of tune in defiance
The air drags the blood and ends the pain
The step quickens, a dash
It widens in a late instant
The rush to meet hope
The body saddens with shivers
Receives its fate, assumes a new color
The thirst that never feeds itself
The hunger is another empty glass
The days of waiting accumulate
The fright, evidence of history
Life announces the end of love
