Ladeira da Memória
Olha as pessoas descendo, descendo, descendo
Descendo a Ladeira da Memória
Até o Vale do Anhangabaú
Quanta gente!
Vagando pelas ruas sem profissão
Namorando as vitrines da cidade
Namorando, andando, andando e namorando
O céu ficou cinza e de repente trovejou
E a chuva vem caindo, caindo, caindo
Prendendo as pessoas nas lojas, nos bares
Na beirada das calçadas
Quanta gente!
Com ar aborrecido olhando pro chão
O reflexo dos edifícios e dos carros
Nas poças d'água
E pros pingos, pingando, pingando, pingando
Olha as pessoas felizes, felizes, felizes
Felizes por que a chuva que caía agora pouco
Essa chuva que caia agora pouco já passou
Hill of Memory
Look at the people going down, going down, going down
Down the Hill of Memory
All the way to Anhangabaú Valley
So many people!
Wandering the streets without a job
Window shopping in the city
Flirting, walking, walking and flirting
The sky turned gray and suddenly thundered
And the rain starts pouring, pouring, pouring
Trapping people in stores, in bars
On the edge of the sidewalks
So many people!
With a bored look staring at the ground
The reflection of buildings and cars
In the puddles
And the raindrops, dripping, dripping, dripping
Look at the happy people, happy, happy
Happy because the rain that was falling a moment ago
That rain that was falling a moment ago has passed
