Acho Inúteis as Palavras [English translation]

I think words are useless

When silence is greater

My actions are useless

Were they to talk to you of love.

I think smiles are useless

When the night seeks us

My sorrows are useless

To speak to you of tenderness.

I think our mouths are useless

When the guilt returns

My eyes are useless

To speak to you of the past.

I think our bodies are useless

When the desire is sure

My hands are useless

At this time of purity.
