A Montanha Mágica Lyrics in English Legião Urbana
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song A Montanha Mágica by Legião Urbana from Portuguese to English.
Sou meu próprio líder, ando em círculos
I'm my own leader, I walk in circles
Me equilibro entre dias e noites
I balance between days and nights
Minha vida toda espera algo de mim
My whole life expects something from me
Meio-sorriso, meia-lua, toda tarde
Half-smile, half-moon, every afternoon
Minha papoula da Índia
My poppy from India
Minha flor da Tailândia
My flower from Thailand
És o que tenho de suave
You are what I have that's gentle
E me fazes tão mal
And you do me so much harm
Ficou logo o que tinha ido embora
What had gone away soon remained
Estou só um pouco cansado
I'm just a little tired
Não sei se isto termina logo
I don't know if this ends soon
Meu joelho dói
My knee hurts
E não há nada a fazer agora
And there's nothing to do now
Para que servem os anjos?
What good are angels?
A felicidade mora aqui comigo
Happiness lives here with me
Até segunda ordem
Until further notice
Um outro agora vive minha vida
Someone else now lives my life
Sei o que ele sonha, pensa e sente
I know what he dreams, thinks and feels
Não é por incidência a minha indiferença
My indifference isn't by chance
Sou uma cópia do que faço
I'm a copy of what I do
O que temos é o que nos resta
What we have is what's left for us
E estamos querendo demais
And we're wanting too much
Minha papoula da Índia
My poppy from India
Minha flor da Tailândia
My flower from Thailand
És o que tenho de suave
You are what I have that's gentle
E me fazes tão mal
And you do me so much harm
Existe um descontrole, que corrompe e cresce
There's a lack of control that corrupts and grows
Pode até ser, mais estou pronto pra mais uma
It might even be, but I'm ready for one more
O que é que desvirtua e ensina?
What is it that corrupts and teaches?
O que fizemos de nossas próprias vidas
What we made of our own lives
O mecanismo da amizade
The mechanism of friendship
A matemática dos amantes
The mathematics of lovers
Agora só artesanato
Now only craftsmanship
O resto são escombros
The rest is rubble
Mas, é claro que não vamos lhe fazer mal
But, of course we won't harm you
Nem é por isso que estamos aqui
Nor is that why we're here
Cada criança com seu próprio canivete
Each child with their own pocketknife
Cada líder com seu próprio 38
Each leader with their own .38
Minha papoula da Índia
My poppy from India
Minha flor da Tailândia
My flower from Thailand
Chega, vou mudar a minha vida
Enough, I'm going to change my life
Deixa o copo encher até a borda
Let the glass fill to the brim
Que eu quero um dia de sol
Because I want a sunny day
E um copo d'água
And a glass of water

Did you like this lyrics translation?
canivete — pocketknife
Canivete translates to "pocketknife". It's an interesting and somewhat unexpected word to find in a song, especially when paired with children.
In the lyrics, "Cada criança com seu próprio canivete" (Each child with their own pocketknife) creates a striking and thought-provoking image. It suggests themes of independence, perhaps a touch of danger, or even the idea of being equipped to face the world, making it a memorable and intriguing choice.
