O Segundo Sol (The Second Sun)

Quando o segundo sol chegar - when the sencond sun comes
Para realinhar as órbitas dos planetas – to realign the orbits of the planets
Derrubando com assombro exemplar – falling with exemplary wonder
O que os astrônomos diriam – what would the astronomers say
Se tratar- if addressing another comet

Não digo que não me surpreendi - i’m not saying that i was surprised
Antes que eu visse você disse - before i saw you said
E eu não pude acreditar - and i could not believe
Mas você pode ter certeza – but you can be sure

De que seu telefone irá tocar – that your telephone will ring
Em sua nova casa – in your new house
Que abriga agora a trilha – that now shelters the trail
Incluída nessa minha conversão – included in my conversion

Eu só queria te contar - i just wanted to tell you
Que eu fui lá fora - that i went outside
E vi dois sóis num dia - and saw two suns in one day
E a vida que ardia sem explicação – and life that burned without explanation

Explicação, não tem explicação – explanation, there’s no explanation
Explicação, não – explanation, no
Não tem explicação – there’s no explanation
Explicação, não tem – explanation, there’s none
Não tem explicação – there’s no explanation
Explicação, não tem – explanation, there’s none
Explicação, não tem – explanation, there’s none
Não tem – there’s none
