Longe Aqui [English translation]

Her girlfriend's parents demanded the end of that relationship

which already lasted 5 months of much affection and reproach

Whenever she got upset, she cut herself with a shaving blade to seek attention

She had an affective disorder*, she thought her parents liked her brother more...

One day she looked through the window, and imagined how her flight towards the ground would be

But when she thought of the mess she'd make, she gave up and went to watch TV

She had to get pregnant, raise a child, get old, die... Like everyone expected!

She had to give up, please, obey, win... Like everyone wished!

Until she left, left for far away

Far enough to be able to bear

Until she left, left for far away

So distant, standing still in the same place

She broke...

She broke in half**

She rehearsed what she would say if she ever were an artist invited to Oprah's

She would dry up her tears, hug her friends, and her mother would have her forgiveness

Back to reality, she found a situation that didn't have much of a solution

Se thought herself old, too young, fat or too ugly

Always inadequate...

She had to get pregnant, raise a child, get old, die... Like everyone expected!

She had to give up, please, obey, win... Like everyone wished!

Until she left, left for far away

Far enough to be able to bear

Until she left, left for far away

So distant, standing still in the same place

Until she left, left for far away

Far enough to be able to bear

Until she left, left for far away

So distant, where she never ceased to be

She broke... She broke in half.
