Sei lá [A Vida sempre tem razão] [English translation]

There are days where I am

Thinking about life

And truthfully,

I don't see a way out

For instance, how is it

That one should understand

That just as people are born

They begin to die

After the arrival

Comes always departure

Because there is nothing

Without separation

What do I know, what do I know

Life is a great illusion

What do I know, what do I know

I just know that life is always right

No one ever knows

What miseries might come

They just act as if

Pretending to forget

That nothing is reborn

Before it comes to its end

And the sun which dawns

Must dusk

It's no use

Keeping oneself out

The hour of a 'yes'

Is just the carelessness of a 'no'

What do I know, what do I know

I just know that passion is necessary

What do I know, what do I know

Life is always right

What do I know

I don't know
