Libertação [English translation]

I went to the beach, and saw on the water weeds

Our entangled life,

Oh my love if we escape ,

No one will know anything !

Around the corner of every road,

A shadow is lurking on us.

And the looks insinuate,

And quickly, one will suspect.

I went to the field, and saw the branches

Severed and twisted.

Oh my love , if we stay,

Our poor senses will be bereft !

In everything I see frontiers,

Borders to our love,

Far from here, where ever you want,

Our life will be larger !

Not even the hopes of heaven

Will manage to change my mind.

This love is yours and mine,

Only on the land we want to share it.
