This song's working name was "Wicca". The album it's on is called "Third". If you google the Wiccan Rule of Three, you'll find out the gist of the Portuguese sample:
"Ever mind the Rule of Three,
Three times what thou givest returns to thee,
This lesson well, thou must learn,
Thee only gets what thou dost earn."
Basically a version of moral reciprocity: the Golden Rule, karma, whatever. This suggests that the kind of heartache, frustration, and despair described in the album's lyrics may often have an overlooked source (i.e. take a look in the mirror).
