A Banda

The Band

A Banda

Was just hanging around in 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 goodbye to painDespediu-se da dor
To see the band go byPra ver a banda passar
Singing things about loveCantando coisas de amor

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

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

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

The cheerful march spread out on the avenue and persistedA marcha alegre se espalhou na avenida e insistiu
The full moon that was hidden appearedA lua cheia que vivia escondida surgiu
My whole city dressed upMinha 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 disappointmentMas para meu desencanto
What was sweet endedO que era doce acabou
Everything took its placeTudo tomou seu lugar
After the band passed byDepois que a banda passou

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