O Que É, o Que É?

Gonzaguinha Gonzaguinha

What Is It, What Is It?

I keep the purity
Of the children's answer
It is life, beautiful
It is beautiful

To live and to not be ashamed
Of being joyful
To sing and sing and sing
Of the beauty of being an eternal apprentice

Oh my God!
I know, I know
That life should be much better
And it will be!

But that doesn't stop
Me from repeating
It's beautiful, it's beautiful
It is beautiful

To live and to not be ashamed
Of being joyful
To sing and sing and sing
Of the beauty of being an eternal apprentice

Oh my God!
I know, I know
That life should be much better
And it will be!

But that doesn't stop
Me from repeating
It's beautiful, it's beautiful
It is beautiful

And life, and life, what is it?
Tell me, brother
It's the beat of a heart
It's a sweet illusion
Yeah! Oh!

And life
Is it wonder or is it suffering?
Is it joy or is it lament?
What is it? What is it, brother?

There are those who say that this life of ours
Is a null factor in the world
It's a drop, it's a moment
Equal to less than a second

There are those who say
That it's a divine
Profound mystery
It's the breath of the Maker in an attitude full of love

You say life is struggle and pleasure
He says that life is to live
She says that it's better to die
For she isn't loved and the verb is to suffer

I just know I trust the muse
And in the muse I put the power of faith
It is us who make life
As possible, doable, or desired

Always desired
Despite its wrongness
No one wants death
Only health and luck

And the question rolls around
And one's head goes fuzzy
I keep the purity
Of the children's answer
It is life, beautiful
It is beautiful

To live and to not be ashamed
Of being joyful
To sing and sing and sing
Of the beauty of being an eternal apprentice

Oh my God!
I know, I know
That life should be much better
And it will be!

But that doesn't stop
Me from repeating
It's beautiful, it's beautiful
It is beautiful

To live and to not be ashamed
Of being joyful
To sing and sing and sing
Of the beauty of being an eternal apprentice

Oh my God!
I know, I know
That life should be much better
And it will be!

But that doesn't stop
Me from repeating
It's beautiful, it's beautiful
It is beautiful

To live and to not be ashamed
Of being joyful
To sing and sing and sing
Of the beauty of being an eternal apprentice

Oh my God!
I know, I know
That life should be much better
And it will be!

But that doesn't stop
Me from repeating
It's beautiful, it's beautiful
It is beautiful

To live and to not be ashamed
Of being joyful
