from what i recall, all bowie songs covered by seu jorge in the life aquatic are not translated, he just makes up new lyrics using the songs music. the lyrics in portugese have nothing to do with the original, except for the chorus he sings in english. in the chorus he is saying "I have not lived these five years, almost lived nothing these five years, being in the blue ocean has been my life for five years"
