Critica da razão pura

Porque quiseste dar nome
Ao gesto que não se diz
Ao jeito de ser feliz
Porque quiseste dar nome?
De que te vale saber
De que é feito uma paixão
As estradas de um coração
De que te vale saber?
Porque quiseste pensar
Aquilo que apenas se sente
O que é alma luz e gente
Porque quiseste pensar?
Diz onde está a razão
Daquilo que não tem juízo
Que junta o choro e o riso
Diz onde está a razão?
Porque quiseste entender
O fogo que fomos nós?
Meu amor, se estamos sós
Foi porque quiseste entender

Critique of Pure Reason

Why did you want to give a name
To a gesture that cannot be said
To the way to be happy
Why did you want to give a name?
What good does it do you to know
What a passion is made of
The roads of a heart
What good does it do you to know?
Why did you want to think
About what is only felt
What is soul, light, and people
Why did you want to think?
Tell me, where is the reason
For that which has no sense
That brings together crying and laughter
Tell me, where is the reason?
Why did you want to understand
The fire that we were?
My love, if we are alone
It's because you wanted to understand
