Vanessa da Mata "Absurdo" lyrics

Translation to:en

Absurdo

Havia tanto pra lhe contarA naturezaMudava a forma o estado e o lugarEra absurdo

Havia tanto pra lhe mostrarEra tão beloMas olhe agora o estrago em que está

Tapetes fartos de folhas e floresO chão do mundo se varre aquiEssa idéia do natural ser sujoDo inorgânico não se faz

Destruição é reflexo do humanoSe a ambição desumana o SerEssa imagem infértil do desertoNunca pensei que chegasse aqui

Auto-destrutivos,Falsas vitimas nocivas?

Havia tanto pra aproveitarSem poderioTantas histórias, tantos saboresCapins dourados

Havia tanto pra respirarEra tão finoNaqueles rios a gente banhava

Desmatam tudo e reclamam do tempoQue ironia conflitante serDesequilíbrio que alimenta as pragasAlterado grão, alterado pão

Sujamos rios, dependemos das águasTanto faz os meios violentosLuxúria é ética do perverso vivoMorto por dinheiro

Cores, tantas coresTais belezasForam-seVersos e estrelasTantas fadas que eu não vi

Falsos bens, progresso?Com a mãe, ingratidãoDeram o galinheiroPra raposa vigiar

Absurd

There were so many things to tell youNatureChanged the shape, the state and the placeIt was absurd

There were so many things to show to youIt was so beautifulBut notice what a mess it is now

Carpets full of leaves and flowersHere is where we sweep the world's floorThis idea of the natural being dirtyAnd of the inorganic not making itself

Destruction is a human reflexIf greed dehumanizes the HumanThis infertile image of a desertI never thought it would come so far

Self-destructiveFake harmful victims?

There was so much for us to enjoyWithout any mightSo many stories, so many flavorsGolden grass

There was so much air to breatheIt was so thinWe used to bathe ourselves in that river

They deforest everything and brag about the timeWhat a big ironySuch unbalance that feeds the plaguesAltered grain, altered bread

We dirty the rivers, we need water to liveThe violent means don't matterThe living one's ethics is their lustThey were killed because of money

Colors, so many colorsSo beautifulFaded awayVerses and starsSo many fairies I didn't see

Fake belongings, progress?Acting ungratefully with your mothersThey gave the chicken penFor the fox to guard
