Translation of Avesso from Portuguese to English
In the moonlight I wait
Here in the arms of the sea I surrender
We already have a date set
I just don't know when
Whether in two days
Or in a thousand years
With two guns pointed at me
I would dare to look at you, I would dare to see you
In an unsuspecting bar, for decency not to see us
It's dangerous to love you, painful to want
We are men to know what's best for us
Desire to punish us, just because we are the same
The Middle Ages is here
Even if they tear out my sex, my honor, my pleasure
I would dare to love you
And you, what will you do if this pride loses us?
In the moonlight I wait
Here in the arms of the sea I surrender
However long it takes, I want to know if you
Are so strong that not even deep down will you desire
What I feel, my God, is so strong
It could even kill
Your father has already sworn to kill me
For leading you astray
If the rumors take root
Would you dare to look at me, would you dare to see me
Two boys in a wagon and the mystery of pleasure
It's dangerous to love you, obscure to want
We are big enough to understand, but too small to have an opinion
If they are going to accept us it's easier to condemn
Or engagements to pretend
Even if the moment comes when I'm no longer here
And my bones turn into fertilizer
You can find me in the reverse of a pain
In the moonlight I wait
Here in the arms of the sea I surrender
However long it takes, I want to know if you
Are so strong that not even deep down will you desire
In the moonlight, I wait
Here in the arms of the sea I surrender
However long it takes, I want to know if you
Are so strong that not even deep down will you desire
