“Vitoriosa”
Quero sua risada mais gostosa
Esse seu jeito de achar
Que a vida pode ser maravilhosa
Quero sua alegria escandalosa
Vitoriosa por não ter
Vergonha de aprender como se goza
Quero toda sua pouca castidade
Quero toda sua louca liberdade
Quero toda essa vontade de passar dos seus limites
E ir além,
E ir além...
“Victorious”
I want your most delicious laugh
That way you have of thinking
That life can be wonderful
I want your scandalous happiness
Victorious because you are not
Ashamed of learning how to enjoy yourself
I want all of your scant chastity
I want all of your crazy freedom
I want all that desire to exceed your limits
And to go beyond
And to go beyond…
