Deserto, império do Sol
Desert, empire of the Sun
Tão perto, império do Sol
So close, empire of the Sun
Prova dos nove, da solidão
Proof of the nine, of loneliness
Cega miragem, largo clarão
Blind mirage, wide glare
Sem a menor aragem
Without the slightest breeze
Sem a menor aragem
Without the slightest breeze
Que grande mar
What a big sea
De ondas paradas
Of still waves
Que grande areal
What a great sand
De formas veladas
In veiled ways
Vitória do espaço
Space victory
Ponto de fuga
Vanishing Point
Anfitrião selvagem
Wild host
Anfitrião selvagem
Wild host
Ouço o fundo da alma
I hear the depths of the soul
E se a areia está calma
And if the sand is calm
O bater do coração
The beating of the heart
É que tanto deserto
It's just that so much desert
Tão de repente
So suddenly
Faz-me pensar
Makes me think
Que o deserto sou eu
That the desert is me
Se não me vieres buscar
If you don't come and get me
Ouço o fundo da alma
I hear the depths of the soul
E se a areia está calma
And if the sand is calm
O bater do coração
The beating of the heart
É que tanto deserto
It's just that so much desert
Tão de repente
So suddenly
Faz-me pensar
Makes me think
Que o deserto sou eu
That the desert is me
Se não me vieres buscar
If you don't come and get me
