Aconteceu

O que aconteceu

What happened

Foi melhor assim

It was better this way

Estava por um fio

It was hanging by a thread

Estava por um triz

It was a close call

Estava já no fim

It was already at the end

Todo mundo via

Everyone saw

Que acontecia

What happened

Pois aconteceu

Well it happened

Era o que devia

It was what should

Quando um descaminho

When a misdirection

Acha o seu desvio

Find your detour

Tudo se alivia

Everything eases

Foi melhor assim

It was better this way

Quando dei por mim

When I realized

Já estava aqui e agora

It was already here and now

Aconteceu, aconteceu, aconteceu

It happened, it happened, it happened
