Translation of the song lyrics Crítica Da Razão Pura - Ana Moura

Crítica Da Razão Pura (original)

Porque quiseste dar nome
Ao gesto que não se diz
Ao jeito de ser feliz
Porque quiseste dar nome?
De que te vale saber
De que é feita uma paixão
As estradas de um coração
De que te vale saber?
Porque quiseste pensar
Aquilo que apenas se sente
O que a alma luz e gente
Porque quiseste pensar?
Diz onde está a razão?
Daquilo que não tem juízo
Que junta o choro e o riso
Diz onde está a razão
Porque quiseste entender
O fogo que fomos nós?
Meu amor, se estamos sós
Foi porque quiseste entender

Crítica Da Razão Pura (translation)

Why did you want to name
To the gesture that is not said
The way of being happy
Why did you want to name it?
What is it worth to you to know
What a passion is made of
The roads of a heart
What is it worth to you to know?
Why did you want to think
What you just feel
What the soul, light and people
Why did you want to think?
Does it say where is the reason?
Of that which has no sense
That joins cry and laughter
Says where the reason is
because you wanted to understand
The fire that we were?
My love, if we are alone
It was because you wanted to understand
