Que Beleza, A Beleza Lyrics in English Paulinho Moska
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Que Beleza, A Beleza by Paulinho Moska from Portuguese to English.
(Que beleza)
(What beauty)
Por quê as flores nos parecem belas?
Why do flowers seem beautiful to us?
Insetos colhem pólen por ali
Insects collect pollen there
Serão as cores e o perfume delas
Are their colors and perfume
Um jeito bom de se reproduzir?
A good way to reproduce?
A tinta vibra quando pinta a tela?
Does the paint vibrate when it paints the canvas?
O que Picasso achava de Dali?
What did Picasso think of Dali?
Que imagem viva nosso olhar revela
What vivid image our gaze reveals
Quando um sentido vem brotando aqui?
When a meaning comes sprouting here?
(Que beleza)
(What beauty)
(Que beleza)
(What beauty)
(Que beleza)
(What beauty)
Vou viajando nesse pensamento
I'm traveling in this thought
Vivendo a mágica da sensação
Living the magic of the sensation
Que faz do efêmero desse momento
That makes the ephemeral of this moment
Instante eterno livre da razão
An eternal instant free from reason
Ouvi dizer que Darwin passou mal
I heard that Darwin felt sick
Sentindo um pouco de irritação
Feeling a bit of irritation
Olhando a cauda de um pavão real
Looking at the tail of a royal peacock
Mudar sua ideia de evolução
Change his idea of evolution
Que beleza, a beleza de onde vem?
What beauty, where does beauty come from?
Como ela se realiza
How does it realize itself
Dentro da alma de alguém?
Inside someone's soul?
A harmonia de um rosto perfeito
The harmony of a perfect face
A melodia de um dia de sol
The melody of a sunny day
A chuva fina batendo no peito
The fine rain hitting the chest
Tremendo o gozo embaixo do lençol
Trembling pleasure under the sheet
A paisagem brilha na janela
The landscape shines in the window
Toda cidade parece dormir
The whole city seems to sleep
E em cada sonho a imagem dela
And in every dream her image
Inventa um novo jeito de sorrir
Invents a new way to smile
(Que beleza)
(What beauty)
(Que beleza)
(What beauty)
(Que beleza)
(What beauty)
Em cada lágrima de cada dia
In every tear of every day
Em toda dança que há nessa canção
In every dance there is in this song
Em cada letra de uma poesia
In every letter of a poem
Também no quadro da exposição
Also in the painting at the exhibition
Às vezes a beleza está escondida
Sometimes beauty is hidden
Só esperando alguém descobrir
Just waiting for someone to discover
Que a maior surpresa dessa vida
That the biggest surprise of this life
É que há mais beleza ainda por vir
Is that there's more beauty yet to come
Que beleza a beleza de onde vem?
What beauty, where does beauty come from?
Como ela se realiza
How does it realize itself
Dentro da alma de alguém?
Inside someone's soul?
Eu permaneço ainda aqui pensando
I still remain here thinking
Se não é melhor eu parar de escrever
If it's not better for me to stop writing
Porque a manhã já vem quase rasgando
Because the morning is already almost breaking
E nunca mais vai me escurecer
And it will never darken me again
Porque estou preenchido de beleza
Because I'm filled with beauty
Meu corpo está voando pelo céu
My body is flying through the sky
Eu sinto como se toda a realeza
I feel as if all royalty
Quisesse interpretar o meu papel
Wanted to play my role
Que beleza a beleza de onde vem?
What beauty, where does beauty come from?
Como ela se realiza
How does it realize itself
Dentro da alma de alguém?
Inside someone's soul?
Será pura simetria ou caos também?
Is it pure symmetry or chaos too?
A beleza, tão bonita
Beauty, so beautiful
Nunca pertence a ninguém
Never belongs to anyone
Será prática, matemática ou abstração?
Is it practical, mathematical, or abstraction?
A existência da beleza
The existence of beauty
Sempre será explosão
Will always be an explosion
Explosão
Explosion
Explosão
Explosion
Será explosão (que beleza)
It will be an explosion (what beauty)
(Que beleza) explosão
(What beauty) explosion
(Que beleza) que beleza
(What beauty) what beauty

Did you like this lyrics translation?
efêmero — ephemeral
Efêmero translates to "ephemeral", meaning lasting for a very short time. It's a beautiful and somewhat philosophical word that isn't commonly found in everyday song lyrics.
In the song, Paulinho Moska uses it to reflect on the fleeting nature of moments and sensations, contrasting the "efêmero desse momento" (the ephemeral nature of this moment) with the idea of an "instante eterno" (eternal instant). This poetic juxtaposition makes the word particularly striking and thought-provoking.
