Passou Por Mim e Sorriu

He passed by me and smiled,
and the rain stopped falling,
my ugly neighborhood turned perfect,
and the pile of rubble, a garden.

The polluted puddle became a lake again,
and the fish turned upside down.
From the stinking sewer came out perfumed
a river of blooming water lilies.

I'm the beautiful and graceful butterfly,
that paints the world in pink,
I am a love delirium.

I know the rain is heavy, clogging the drain,
love is short and leaves a mark,
but I want to fly, please!

In the subway, canned, bodies squeezed
sigh as they see me enter.
No rush, there's time,
the moment is delightful,
and everything else can wait.

The kid with the accordion,
gets everyone dancing,
and the thief dances,
with the cop hand in hand,
confetti fluttering in the air.

I'm the beautiful and graceful butterfly,
that paints the world in pink,
I am a love delirium.

I know the rain is heavy, clogging the drain,
love is short and leaves a mark,
but I want to fly, please!

There are open doors and streets covered
with endless party decorations,
and everywhere, heard and danced,
fado is sung with laughter.

And those I see, hug, and kiss,
speak already half-dreaming,
if the world came to this with just a smile,
what will happen if it speaks to me.

I'm the beautiful and graceful butterfly,
that paints the world in pink,
I am a love delirium.

I know the rain is heavy, clogging the drain,
love is short and leaves a mark,
but I want to fly, please!

I'm the beautiful and graceful butterfly,
that paints the world in pink,
I am a love delirium.

I know the rain is heavy, clogging the drain,
love is short and leaves a mark,
but I want to fly, please!
