Nos Bailes da Vida

In the Dances of Life

Nos Bailes da Vida

Only those who take a dreamSó quem toma um sonho
As their way of livingComo sua forma de viver
Can unravel the secretPode desvendar o segredo
Of being happyDe ser feliz

It was in the dances of life or in a bar in exchange for breadFoi nos bailes da vida ou num bar em troca de pão
That many good people set foot in the professionQue muita gente boa pôs o pé na profissão
Of playing an instrument and singingDe tocar um instrumento e de cantar
No matter if the one who paid wanted to listenNão importando se quem pagou quis ouvir
It was like thatFoi assim

Singing was seeking the path that leads to the sunCantar era buscar o caminho que vai dar no sol
I have with me the memories of what I wasTenho comigo as lembranças do que eu era
To sing nothing was far, everything so goodPara cantar nada era longe, tudo tão bom
Even the dirt road in the cab of a truckAté a estrada de terra na boleia de um caminhão
It was like thatEra assim

With soaked clothes and a soul full of earthCom a roupa encharcada e alma repleta de chão
Every artist has to go where the people areTodo artista tem de ir aonde o povo está
If it was like this, it will be like thisSe foi assim, assim será
Singing I disguise myself and I don't tire of livingCantando me disfarço e não me canso de viver
Nor of singingNem de cantar
