Longe Aqui

Your girlfriend's parents demanded the end of that relationshipOs pais de sua namorada exigiram o fim daquela relação
that had lasted five months of much affection and disapprovalque já durava cinco meses de muito carinho e reprovação

Whenever she got upset, she would cut her arms with a razor to get attentionSempre que se chateava cortava os braços com gilete pra chamar atenção
She had emotional deprivation, thought her parents liked her brother more...Tinha carência afetiva, achava que seus pais gostavam mais do irmão...

One day she looked out the window, imagined how her fall to the ground would beUm dia olhou pela janela, imaginou como seria o seu vôo até o chão
But when she thought about the mess it would cause..Mas quando pensou na sujeira que ela causaria..
she gave up, went to watch TVdesistiu, foi ver televisão

She had to get pregnant, raise, grow old, die... As everyone expected!Tinha que engravidar, criar, envelhecer, morrer... Como todos esperavam!
She had to renounce, please, obey, succeed... As everyone desired!Tinha que renunciar, agradar, obedecer, vencer... Como todos desejavam!

Until she left, she left far awayAté que ela partiu, ela partiu pra bem longe
Far enough to bearPra distante o bastante pra suportar

She left, she left far awayEla partiu, ela partiu pra bem longe
So far, standing in the same placeTão distante parada no mesmo lugar

She left...Ela partiu...
She left in halfEla partiu ao meio

She rehearsed what she would say if one day she was honored as an artist on FaustãoEnsaiou o que diria se um dia fosse artista homenageada no Faustão
She would wipe away the tears, hug friends, and her mother would have her forgivenessEnxugaria as lágrimas, abraçaria amigos e a mãe teria o seu perdão
Returning to reality, she faced a situation that didn't have much solutionVoltando a realidade, ela encontrava um quadro que não tinha muita solução
She thought she was old, too young, fat or too uglySe achava velha, muito nova, gorda ou muito feia
Always inadequate for the situation...Sempre inadequada pra situação...

She had to get pregnant, raise, grow old, die... As everyone expected!Tinha que engravidar, criar, envelhecer, morrer... Como todos esperavam!
She had to renounce, please, obey, succeed... As everyone desired!Tinha que renunciar, agradar, obedecer, vencer... Como todos desejavam!

Until she left, she left far awayAté que ela partiu, ela partiu pra bem longe
Far enough to bearPra distante o bastante pra suportar

She left, she left far awayEla partiu, ela partiu pra bem longe
So far, standing in the same placeTão distante parada no mesmo lugar

She left, she left far awayEla partiu, ela partiu pra bem longe
Far enough to bearPra distante o bastante pra suportar

She left, she left far awayEla partiu, ela partiu pra bem longe
So far, where she never stopped beingTão distante, onde nunca deixou de estar

She left... She left in half.Ela partiu... Ela partiu ao meio.
