Absurdo

There was so much to tell youHavia tanto pra lhe contar
NatureA natureza
Changed the form, the state, and the placeMudava a forma o estado e o lugar
It was absurdEra absurdo

There was so much to show youHavia tanto pra lhe mostrar
It was so beautifulEra tão belo
But look at the mess it's in nowMas olhe agora o estrago em que está

Rich carpets of leaves and flowersTapetes fartos de folhas e flores
The world's floor is swept hereO chão do mundo se varre aqui
This idea of the natural being dirtyEssa ideia do natural ser sujo
Of the inorganic not being madeDo inorgânico não se faz

Destruction is a reflection of the humanDestruição é reflexo do humano
If inhuman ambition the BeingSe a ambição desumana o Ser
This infertile image of the desertEssa imagem infértil do deserto
I never thought it would come to thisNunca pensei que chegasse aqui

Self-destructiveAuto-destrutivos
False harmful victims?Falsas vitimas nocivas?

There was so much to enjoyHavia tanto pra aproveitar
Without powerSem poderio
So many stories, so many flavorsTantas histórias, tantos sabores
Golden grassesCapins dourados

There was so much to breatheHavia tanto pra respirar
It was so pureEra tão fino
In those rivers we used to batheNaqueles rios a gente banhava

They clear everything and complain about the weatherDesmatam tudo e reclamam do tempo
What a conflicting irony to beQue ironia conflitante ser
Imbalance that feeds the pestsDesequilíbrio que alimenta as pragas
Altered grain, altered breadAlterado grão, alterado pão

We dirty rivers, we depend on the watersSujamos rios, dependemos das águas
It doesn't matter the violent meansTanto faz os meios violentos
Lust is the ethics of the living perverseLuxúria é ética do perverso vivo
Dead for moneyMorto por dinheiro

Colors, so many colorsCores, tantas cores
Such beautiesTais belezas
Are goneForam-se
Verses and starsVersos e estrelas
So many fairies that I didn't seeTantas fadas que eu não vi

False goods, progress?Falsos bens, progresso?
With the mother, ingratitudeCom a mãe, ingratidão
They gave the henhouseDeram o galinheiro
For the fox to watchPra raposa vigiar
