A Banda

The Band

A Banda

I was wasting my lifeEstava à toa na vida
My love called meO meu amor me chamou
To see the band go byPra ver a banda passar
Singing things about loveCantando coisas de amor

My suffering peopleA minha gente sofrida
Said to goodbye to the painDespediu-se da dor
To see the band go byPra ver a banda passar
Singing things about loveCantando coisas de amor

The serious man who counted money stoppedO homem sério que contava dinheiro parou
The lighthouse keeper who counted advantages stoppedO faroleiro que contava vantagem parou
The girlfriend who counted the stars stoppedA namorada que contava as estrelas parou
To see, listen and give wayPara ver, ouvir e dar passagem

The sad girl who was silent smiledA moça triste que vivia calada sorriu
The sad rose that lived closed openedA rosa triste que vivia fechada se abriu
And the whole kids got upsetE a meninada toda se assanhou
To see the band go byPra ver a banda passar
Singing things about loveCantando coisas de amor

I was wasting my lifeEstava à toa na vida
My love called meO meu amor me chamou
To see the band go byPra ver a banda passar
Singing things about loveCantando coisas de amor

My suffering peopleA minha gente sofrida
Said to goodbye to the painDespediu-se da dor
To see the band go byPra ver a banda passar
Singing things about loveCantando coisas de amor

The weak old man forgot his tiredness and thoughtO velho fraco se esqueceu do cansaço e pensou
Who was still young enough to go out on the terrace and danceQue ainda era moço pra sair no terraço e dançou
The ugly girl leaned out the windowA moça feia debruçou na janela
Thinking that the band played for herPensando que a banda tocava pra ela

The happy march spread out on onto the avenue and insistedA marcha alegre se espalhou na avenida e insistiu
The full Moon that lived hidden appearedA lua cheia que vivia escondida surgiu
My whole city was decoratedMinha cidade toda se enfeitou
To see the band go by singing things about lovePra ver a banda passar cantando coisas de amor
But to my disenchantmentMas para meu desencanto
What was sweet is overO que era doce acabou
Everything has taken its placeTudo tomou seu lugar
After the band passedDepois que a banda passou

And everyone in their own cornerE cada qual no seu canto
In every corner a painEm cada canto uma dor
After the band passesDepois da banda passar
Singing things about loveCantando coisas de amor
After the band passesDepois da banda passar
Singing things about loveCantando coisas de amor
