To this quality? À esta qualidade? A quality of light A quality of light Uma qualidade Unique to every city's streets Unique to every city's streets De luz única às Ruas de todas as cidades Pavements may teem Pavements may teem Pavimentos podem fervilhar With intense energy With intense energy Com intensa energia, But the city is calm But the city is calm Mas a cidade está calma In this violent sea In this violent sea Neste mar violento
