Title	SIMPLESMENTE Quantas vezes eu jÃ¡ fracassei...
Text Submitted by JOTAMARTINS	Source language: Portuguese brazilian SIMPLESMENTE Quantas vezes eu jÃ¡ fracassei Quantos bons momentos desprezei Por pensar demais, por ouvir demais Por nÃ£o saber olhar a vida simplesmente Dentro desse louco turbilhÃ£o Cada um querendo ser melhor Ã‰ muito melhor se deixar ficar Em tudo que vocÃª sentir Simplesmente

Title	Simply
Translation English Translated by lilian canale	Target language: English SIMPLY How many times I've failed How many good times I've despised For thinking too much, for hearing too much For not knowing how to look at life simply Inside this mad whirl Each one wanting to be better Far better is letting yourself lay In everything you feel Simply
Remarks about the translation	Part of lyrics "Simplemente" (Simply) by Brazilian composer Paulinho Nogueira.
