Frágil

E amanhã a chuva levará
O sangue que a luta deixou derramar
Na pele a dor do aço tão cruel
Jamais a nossa voz vai calar

Um ato assim pode acabar
Com uma vida e nada mais
Porque nem mesmo a violência
Destrói ideais
Tem gente que não sente que o mundo assim
Ficará frágil demais

Choro eu e você
E o mundo também, e o mundo também
Choro eu e você
Que fragilidade, que fragilidade

(Sting)

Fragile

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
