O Que É, o Que É?

Beth Carvalho Beth Carvalho

What is it, what is it?

I stick with the purity
Of children's answers
It's life, it's beautiful and it's beautiful

To live
And not be ashamed to be happy
To sing and sing and sing
The beauty of being an eternal apprentice

Ah, my God, I know (I know)
That life should be much better and it will be
But that doesn't stop me from repeating
It's beautiful, it's beautiful and it's beautiful

To live
And not be ashamed to be happy
To sing and sing and sing
The beauty of being an eternal apprentice

Ah, my God, I know (I know)
That life should be much better and it will be
But that doesn't stop me from repeating
It's beautiful, it's beautiful and it's beautiful

And life
And life, what is it?
Tell me, my brother
Is it the beat of a heart?
Is it a sweet illusion?

And life
Is it wonder or is it suffering?
Is it joy or lament?
What is it, what is it, my brother?

Some say that our life
Is nothing in the world
It's a drop, it's a time
That doesn't even last a second

Some say it's a divine
Profound mystery
It's the Creator's breath
In an attitude full of love

You say it's struggle and pleasure
He says life is to live
She says the best is to die
Because loved is not and the verb is to suffer

I only know that I trust the girl
And in the girl, I put the strength of faith
We are the ones who make life
However it may be wrong or right

Always desired
No matter how wrong it may be
No one wants death
Only health and luck

The question spins
And the head stirs
I stick with the purity
Of children's answers
It's life, it's beautiful and it's beautiful

To live
And not be ashamed to be happy
To sing and sing and sing
The beauty of being an eternal apprentice

Ah, my God, I know (I know)
That life should be much better and it will be
But that doesn't stop me from repeating
It's beautiful, it's beautiful and it's beautiful

To live
And not be ashamed to be happy
To sing and sing and sing
The beauty of being an eternal apprentice

Ah, my God, I know (I know)
That life should be much better and it will be
But that doesn't stop me from repeating
It's beautiful, it's beautiful and it's beautiful

It's beautiful, it's beautiful and it's beautiful
