Lyrics	Fui à praia, e vi nos limos a nossa vida enredada: ó meu amor, se fugimos, ninguém saberá de nada. Na esquina de cada rua, uma sombra nos espreita, e nos olhares se insinua, de repente uma suspeita. Fui ao campo, e vi os ramos decepados e torcidos: ó meu amor, se ficamos, pobres dos nossos sentidos. Fui ao campo, e vi os ramos decepados e torcidos: ó meu amor, se ficamos, pobres dos nossos sentidos. Pobres dos nossos sentidos! Fui à praia, e vi nos limos a nossa vida enredada: ó meu amor, se fugimos, ninguém saberá de nada. Na esquina de cada rua, uma sombra nos espreita, e nos olhares se insinua, de repente uma suspeita. Fui ao campo, e vi os ramos decepados e torcidos: ó meu amor, se ficamos, pobres dos nossos sentidos. Fui ao campo, e vi os ramos decepados e torcidos: ó meu amor, se ficamos, pobres dos nossos sentidos.
Translation	I went to the beach and saw our lives entangled in the water weeds Oh baby if we run away no one will ever know. There's a shadow lurking at the corner of every street and suddenly a suspect arises with those stares. I went to the field And I saw the branches severed and twisted Oh baby if we stay I'll fear for our senses. I went to the field And I saw the branches severed and twisted Oh baby if we stay I'll fear for our senses. I'll fear for our senses!
