pinewood trees Atravessando a neve e os pinheiros I'm porous with travel fever I'm porous with travel fever Estou ardendo com essa febre de estrada But you know, I'm so glad to be on my own But you know, I'm so glad to be on my own Mas sabe que eu estou tão feliz por estar sozinha Still somehow the slightest touch of a stranger Still somehow the slightest touch of a stranger Embora ainda o mais leve toque de um estranho Can set up trembling in my bones Can set up trembling in my bones Possa me fazer tremer nas bases I know, no one's gonna show me everything I know, no one's gonna show me everything Eu sei — ninguém me mostrará tudo We all come and go unknown We all come and go unknown A gente vêm e vai, sempre anônimo Each so deep and superficial Each so deep and superficial Cada um

Olhei para os memoriais de granito Those tributes to finality, to eternity Those tributes to finality, to eternity Aqueles tributos à finalidade — à eternidade And then I looked at myself here And then I looked at myself here E então olhei para mim mesma aqui Chicken scratching for my immortality Chicken scratching for my immortality Uma galinha que cisca pela imortalidade In the church they light the candles In the church they light the candles Na igreja, acenderam as velas And the wax rolls down like tears And the wax rolls down like tears E a cera escorre como lágrimas There's the hope and the hopelessness There's the hope and the hopelessness Há esperança e desespero I've witnessed thirty years I've witnessed thirty years Que testemunhei por trinta anos We're only particles of
