O mundo é um moinho [English translation]

It is still early, love

You've only started to learn what life is

Yet you announce to me your early departure

Not even knowing which path you're gonna take

Do pay attention, dear

Although I know that your mind is made up

In every corner a bit of you gets used up

Soon you'll no longer be the person you are now

Listen to me, my love

Please be aware, the world is a windmill

It will grind all your petty dreams to fine silt

It will turn all your illusions to dust

Do pay attention, dear

From every love, you'll only take the bitterness

Before you know it, you're at the edge of the abyss

The abyss that you have dug with your own feet
