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, namorando
O céu ficou cinza e de repente trovejou
E a chuva vem caindo, caindo, caindo
Prendendo as pessoas nas portas, nos bares
Na beirada das calçadas
Quanta gente!
Com ar aborrecido olhando pro chão
Pro 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
Memory Hill
Look at the people going down, going down, going down
Going down Memory Hill
Until the Anhangabaú Valley
So many people!
Wandering the streets without a profession
Dating the city's shop windows
Dating, walking, walking, dating
The sky turned gray and suddenly thundered
And the rain comes falling, falling, falling
Trapping people in the doorways, in the bars
On the edge of the sidewalks
So many people!
With a bored look staring at the ground
At the reflection of the buildings and cars
In the puddles
And at the drops, dripping, dripping, dripping
Look at the happy people, happy, happy
Happy because the rain that was falling just now
That rain that was falling just now has passed
