Strange Way of Live

Click to see the original lyrics (Portuguese)
It was by God's will
that i live in that anxiety.
That all "ouches" are mine,
that is completel my longing.
It was by God's will.
 
What strange way of life
has this heart of mine:
living lostly;
Who would give it magic power?
What strange way of life.
 
Independant heart
heart i can't command:
i live lost amongs the people,
stubbornly bleeding,
independent heart.
 
i won't follow you up anymore:
stop, quit beating
If you don't know where you go
why insist on running,
i won't follow you up anymore.

Fabio, thanks again. You are very kind.

Fabio, can you improve two phrases? 1. "Living lostly" does not make any sense, 2. "I don't escort you anymore" . Appreciate your time.

"Living lostly" could be " not getting attached to someone or something" and "I don't escort you anymore" could be "i won't follow you up anymore". I just though it would sound bad, but if you think want, I can edit the song. And I'm on vacation, I have too much time, if you ask me...

Fabio, thank you for your kind attention. F-Reis also did a wonderful translation, so I'm quite satisfied. Yes, I agree, "I won't follow you anymore" sounds much better. Thanks again and enjoy your vacation:)

"i won't follow you up anymore" it is, then. :)
