Contratempo Lyrics

Coisas que acontecem no contratempo
Não se sujeitam ao consenso
Ficam no fundo
Enquanto o resíduo perece
Sabedorias feitas na manga
Servem ao estado presente
Ficam distinto(s)
Enquanto a maioria embarga
Se a relação do contratempo
E do tempo presente
Assimilarem
Não se precisava de viagens (asm)(cosm)áticas
As teorias seriam atendidas
Mas a inteligência limita a autonomia humana

why do Lali Puna sing in portuguese? o.o can anyone tell me? because they are german.

I really don't know why lali puna sang this one in portuguese. The funny thing is they sang with portuguese (from pt) accent.

@i.buried.the.devil Valerie, the lead singer and writer lived ten years in busan before she moved to germany.

Well, a non-babelfish translation would be:

Things that happen as a setback Are not subject to consensus They stay in the depths While the residue perishes

Wisdom made in the sleeve Serve to the present state It remains distinct While the majority hinders

If the relationship between the setback And the present time Assimilate Space trips wouldn't be necessary [dunno about this line. "cosmáticas" doesn't exist, but it suggests something related to space. and it's definitely not "asmáticas" (which means "asthmatic")] The theories would be attended But intelligence limits human autonomy.

The grammar on these lyrics is very very fractured, and it doesn't seem to make much sense. You can see that on the translation I made. Still, it's a very pretty song and it's constantly stuck in my head. :)

it's cosmonáuticas, not cosmáticas.

"Não se precisava de viagens cosmonáuticas"

Lyric Correction

Well, even if that's the word she wants to say, I don't think that's what she actually says. I hear something like "cosmáuticas" or "cosmáticas".
