Um escravo do sentimento - A Slave to Feeling

 

Vejo teu rosto por toda parte,

nas estrelas da madrugada,

em meio as nuvens da alvorada,

na luz do sol, no espelho d'água.

Esquece-la é como esquecer que tenho coração...

Coração colocado em meu peito por você.

Queria continuar como antes

frio e distante,

Motherfucker prisioneiro da razão,

porque agora sou escravo do sentimento,

tolo miserável trucidado pela paixão,

dominado por sua imagem fixada em minhas retinas cansadas

e descrentes da esperança típica das madrugadas.

A Slave to Feeling

A Slave to Feeling

I see your face everywhere,

in the early morning stars,

amidst the dawn clouds,

in the sunlight, in the water's mirror.

To forget you is like forgetting that I have a heart...

A heart placed in my chest by you.

I wished to remain as I was,

cold and distant,

a motherfucker, prisoner of reason,

because now I'm a slave to feeling,

a miserable fool butchered by passion,

dominated by your image fixed on my tired retinas,

disbelieving of the hope typical of the dawn.
