Ouro De Tolo Lyrics English Translation by Marina Sena
When you walked away, my heart gave out, my sight went dark
The world stood still, the dream was gone
The bill came due, what did we do? My fault, your fault too
When I saw you leave, the door slammed shut, you just disappeared
I don’t know what’s mine, I don’t know what’s yours
The dog is mine, my love is mine
The way I am, it’s all mine
Hypocrite, you hide behind your logic
Always looking for a way to turn away, to never face, to never say
I was wrong, but you stood tall like a king
Blinded by love, I believed
Fooled myself, gave you everything
Crazy how you do crazy things, telling me you love me—but you don’t love a thing
You don’t love a thing, you don’t love a thing
And with no illusions left
My eyes opened wide, and I cried
Cried for myself, for not seeing you never fit here—not really
Maybe I did, but I was wrong, I betrayed myself
Not everything that shines is gold
Your love is a fool’s gold
Not everything that shines is gold
Your love is a fool’s gold
Fool’s gold
Fool’s gold
Fool’s gold
And with no illusions left
My eyes opened wide, and I cried
Cried for myself, for not seeing you never fit here—not really
Maybe I did, but I was wrong, I betrayed myself
Not everything that shines is gold
Your love is a fool’s gold
Not everything that shines is gold
Your love is a fool’s gold
Not everything that shines is gold
Your love is a fool’s gold
I don’t need to ask you to stand
When I rise, you feel the weight
It’s my energy that lifts you up, my presence feeds your soul
I have it all, I have my gods, and there’s nothing in this world I don’t know
I set fire to your fuse—without me, you’re nothing
Until you learn to flow like a river, you’ll die of thirst without water
Your chance slipped by without warning, now you brace yourself
To watch me become all I dreamed while you drained me dry
And if this world is mine, I won’t share it
With someone who’s never lived it by my side
