ACONTECE by Cartola, new words by Joel Sattler
New title: "It Happens"
Just try forgetting love and what happens?
You'll find that your whole world will
start collapsing
When her love for me came to end, I died
Why should I even try just to now lose her again?
But still it could happen
So somehow it turned out that my heart, it was empty
Because I let a girl disorient me
If I could just try to once more to pretend
But it's just no good now
If I could not I would not and should not
Have ever let it happen

Original lyrics in Portuguese:
Esquece o nosso amor, vê se esquece.
Porque tudo no mundo acontece
E acontece que eu já não sei mais amar.
Vai chorar, vai sofrer, e você não merece,
Mas isso acontece.
Acontece que o meu coração ficou frio
E o nosso ninho de amor está vazio.
Se eu ainda pudesse fingir que te amo,
Ah, se eu pudesse
Mas não quero, não devo fazê-lo,
Isso não acontece.
