Muito tempo eu fico

I stay a long time

A viver pelos mares

Living by the seas

Mergulhando profundo

Diving deep

Em recifes e corais

In reefs and corals

Minha missão nesse mundo

My mission in this world

É Pesquisar animais

Is Search for animals

Mergulhando no escuro

Diving in the dark

Com perigos reais

With real dangers

E por isso agora

And so now

Que eu cheguei aqui

That I got here

Nada vai me tentar a fazer desistir

Nothing will tempt me to give up

Eu não posso dormir

I can't sleep

Com você nos meus sonhos

With you in my dreams

Já conheço seu dorso

I already know your back

Seu olhar tão medonho

Your look so hideous

E é sem ar que eu fico

And I'm out of breath

Há Muito tempo fico

I've been staying for a long time

E Nunca fico rico

And I never get rich

Aí por isso eu grito

That's why I scream

Hoje eu te frito

Today I fry you

Sob o mar ou horizonte

Under the sea or horizon

Fico a admirar no cais

I admire it on the pier

Quanto o vento está calmo

When the wind is calm

Tudo fica em paz

Everything is at peace

Eu estou nesta trilha

I'm on this trail

E Não sei quanto tempo faz

And I don't know how long it's been

Eu não vejo sentido

I don't see the point

Mais nos meus ideias

More in my ideas

E agora que eu fiz um acorde maior

And now that I've made a major chord

Para cantar pra você

To sing for you

Minha angústia e dor

My anguish and pain

Não me deixe aqui

Don't leave me here

Sem carinho e só

Without affection and alone

Venha viver comigo

Come live with me

Venha ser meu amor

Come be my love

Porque eu não vivo há

Because I haven't lived for
