Chico Buarque "A Banda" lyrics

Translation to:enfrru

A Banda

Estava à toa na vidaO meu amor me chamouPra ver a banda passarCantando coisas de amor

A minha gente sofridaDespediu-se da dorPra ver a banda passarCantando coisas de amor

O homem sério que contava dinheiro parouO faroleiro que contava vantagem parouA namorada que contava as estrelas parouPara ver, ouvir e dar passagem

A moça triste que vivia calada sorriuA rosa triste que vivia fechada se abriuE a meninada toda se assanhouPra ver a banda passarCantando coisas de amor

Estava à toa na vidaO meu amor me chamouPra ver a banda passarCantando coisas de amor

A minha gente sofridaDespediu-se da dorPra ver a banda passarCantando coisas de amor

O velho fraco se esqueceu do cansaço e pensouQue ainda era moço pra sair no terraço e dançouA moça feia debruçou na janelaPensando que a banda tocava pra ela

A marcha alegre se espalhou na avenida e insistiuA lua cheia que vivia escondida surgiuMinha cidade toda se enfeitouPra ver a banda passar cantando coisas de amor

Mas para meu desencantoO que era doce acabouTudo tomou seu lugarDepois que a banda passou

E cada qual no seu cantoEm cada canto uma dorDepois da banda passarCantando coisas de amorDepois da banda passarCantando coisas de amor...

The Band

I was hanging around in lifeMy love called meTo see the band passSinging things of love

My suffering peopleFarewelled painto see the band passSinging things of love

The serious man counting money stoppedThe lighthouse keeper counting goods stoppedThe girlfriend counting stars stoppedTo see, hear and make way

The sad girl that lived quietly smiledThe sad rose that lived closed gaped openAnd all the kids became excitedTo see the band passSinging things of love

I was hanging around in lifeMy love called meTo see the band passSinging things of love

My suffering peopleFarewelled painto see the band passSinging things of love

The weak old man forgot tiredness and thoughtThat he was still young enough to go on the terrace and dancedThe ugly girl leant out the windowThinking that the band played for her

The joyful march diffused through the avenue and insistedThe full moon that was hidden come outMy whole town spruced itself upTo see the band passSinging things of love

But to my disappointmentThat which was sweet finishedEverything returned to its placeAfter the band passed

And each in his cornerIn each corner a painAfter the band passedSinging things of loveAfter the band passedSinging things of love...
