Translation of the song Aconteceu artist Marisa Monte

Aconteceu

It happened

O que aconteceu

What happened

Foi melhor assim

It was better like this

Estava por um fio

I was on a tightrope

Estava por um triz

I was on a close call

Estava já no fim

I was already on the end

Todo mundo via

Everybody saw it

Que acontecia

That happened

Pois aconteceu

Because it happened

Era o que devia

It was what was supposed to happen

Quando um descaminho

When a wrong path

Acha o seu desvio

Finds a detour

Tudo se alivia

Everything gets softer

Foi melhor assim

It was better like this

Quando dei por mim

When I realized

Já estava aqui e agora

I was already here and now
