Lyrics & translation
Verse
Eu sempre pensei que o grito era poder.
I always thought that shouting was power.
Gritei até o meu peito doer.
I shouted until my chest hurt.
Mas você parou a bola no pé.
But you stopped the ball at your feet.
Você me mostrou a força da calma.
You showed me the strength of calm.
Chorus
Aqui está o meu apito de metal.
Here is my metal whistle.
A caixa de veludo guarda o último sinal.
The velvet box keeps the final signal.
Você me ensinou o tempo de parar.
You taught me the time to stop.
Agora é sua vez de liderar.
Now it is your turn to lead.
Você me ensinou o tempo de parar.
You taught me the time to stop.
Verse
Minha voz cansada já não faz sentido.
My tired voice no longer makes sense.
O melhor conselho é o que foi ouvido.
The best advice is what was heard.
O campo silencia quando você escuta.
The field falls silent when you listen.
Você domina o gelo e o fogo.
You master the ice and the fire.
Chorus
Aqui está o meu apito de metal.
Here is my metal whistle.
A caixa de veludo guarda o último sinal.
The velvet box keeps the final signal.
Você me ensinou o tempo de parar.
You taught me the time to stop.
Agora é sua vez de liderar.
Now it is your turn to lead.
Você me ensinou o tempo de parar.
You taught me the time to stop.
Bridge
Passei anos tentando ter razão.
I spent years trying to be right.
Mas a paz está na palma da sua mão.
But peace is in the palm of your hand.
Penduro a corda, entrego o comando.
I hang up the lanyard, I hand over command.
É você quem vai continuar jogando.
It is you who will keep on playing.
Chorus
Aqui está o meu apito de metal.
Here is my metal whistle.
A caixa de veludo guarda o último sinal.
The velvet box keeps the final signal.
Você me ensinou o tempo de parar.
You taught me the time to stop.
Agora é sua vez de liderar.
Now it is your turn to lead.
Você me ensinou o tempo de parar.
You taught me the time to stop.
