Translation of the song Mascarados artist Rubel

Havia uma sacola com uma máscara

There was a bag with a mask in it

E uma garota encontrou

And a girl found it

De início, teve medo e não sabia o que fazer

In the beginning, she was afraid and didn't know what to do

E nem como compor

Or how to compose

Mas colocou sobre o seu rosto e lhe caiu tão bem

But she put it over her face and it fit her so well

Ficou acometida pela euforia de uma nova face

The happiness of having a new face filled her

E se lançou na rua e o mundo lhe retribuiu com flores

So she went down the street and the world gave her flowers

Ninguém duvidou que a máscara cobriu o rosto

No one doubted the mask covered a face

Que antes era só temor

That was previously full of fear

E nada parecia lhe fazer parar de acreditar

And nothing seemed to make her stop believing

Que o novo rosto e forte na verdade sempre fora o seu

That all along the new and strong face was her own

E mesmo que alertassem, ela respondia só Sou eu

And even if they told her, she answered with It's me

Mas teve um dia que ao descer a rua o mundo desabou

But there was a day that when she was going down the street the world fell down

Outros tantos lindos mascarados transitavam sem pudor

So many beautiful masked people walked around, shamelessly

Ajoelhou com raiva, olhou pros céus e antes de gritar, chorou

She kneeled down in anger, looked up to the sky and before she screamed, she cried

E ao se levantar, olhou pros mascarados, condenou

And when she got back up, she looked at the masked people and judged

São todos falsos, tantas copias de um rosto que antes era meu!

These are all fake, so many copies of a face that was previously mine!

Ninguém lhe dava ouvidos,

No one gave her attention

Ela então, cansada, se desmascarou e sorriu

So she, tired, took her mask off and smiled

E dizem que sorrindo ela entendeu

Now they say that when she smiled she understood

Que a vida só se dá

That life only happens

Pra quem se deu

To those who devoted themselves
