Terra da Saudade [English translation]

There in that land nobody dances

They say it is bad for your heart

There is no youth, no children

It's bad for your loneliness

There in that land nobody kisses

Nor do they know the taste of a song

Ai ai, ai ai, ai ai, ai

Ai ai, ai ai, ai ai

In that land the world spins

And it doesn't know where to turn

Nobody knows what's up

Nor where the sea is

In that land nobody dreams

Nor do they want time to dream

Ai ai, ai ai, ai ai, ai

Ai ai, ai ai, ai ai

In that land they haven't invented love

Nobody knows what it tastes like

They live with their eyes closed

They call it the land of melancholy

In that land, there are no flowers

Beauty fasts

There is no pain, no sickness

Death comes without any meaning

There is a God who belongs to everyone

But never gets to anyone

Ai ai, ai ai, ai ai, ai

Ai ai, ai ai, ai ai
