A Banda

The Band

A Banda

I was aimless in lifeEstava à toa na vida
My love called meO meu amor me chamou
To see the band passPra ver a banda passar
Singing love songsCantando coisas de amor

My suffering peopleA minha gente sofrida
Said goodbye to the painDespediu-se da dor
To see the band passPra ver a banda passar
Singing love songsCantando coisas de amor

The serious man that was counting money stopedO homem sério que contava dinheiro parou
The boasting lighthouse keeper stoppedO faroleiro que contava vantagem parou
The girlfriend counting the starsA namorada que contava as estrelas
Stoped to see, to listen, and open the wayParou para ver, ouvir e dar passagem

The sad girl that was always quiet smiledA moça triste que vivia calada sorriu
The sad rose that used to be closed has openedA rosa triste que vivia fechada se abriu
And all the girl freaked outE a meninada toda se assanhou
To see the band passPra ver a banda passar
Singing love songsCantando coisas de amor

I was aimless in lifeEstava à toa na vida
My love called meO meu amor me chamou
To see the band passPra ver a banda passar
Singing love songsCantando coisas de amor

My suffering peopleA minha gente sofrida
Said goodbye to the painDespediu-se da dor
To see the band passPra ver a banda passar
Singing love songsCantando coisas de amor

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

The happy march spread out on 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 pass singing love songsPra ver a banda passar cantando coisas de amor

But to my dismayMas para meu desencanto
What was sweet is overO que era doce acabou
Everything took its placeTudo tomou seu lugar
After the band passedDepois que a banda passou

And each one in it's cornerE cada qual no seu canto
In every corner a painEm cada canto uma dor
After the band passesDepois da banda passar
Singing love songsCantando coisas de amor
After the band passesDepois da banda passar
Singing love songsCantando coisas de amor
After the band passesDepois da banda passar
Singing love songsCantando coisas de amor
