Chico Buarque "Roda Viva" lyrics

Roda Viva

Tem dias que a gente se senteComo quem partiu ou morreuA gente estancou de repenteOu foi o mundo então que cresceu...

A gente quer ter voz ativaNo nosso destino mandarMas eis que chega a roda vivaE carrega o destino prá lá ...

Roda mundo, roda giganteRoda moinho, roda piãoO tempo rodou num instanteNas voltas do meu coração...

A gente vai contra a correnteAté não poder resistirNa volta do barco é que senteO quanto deixou de cumprirFaz tempo que a gente cultivaA mais linda roseira que háMas eis que chega a roda vivaE carrega a roseira prá lá...

Roda mundo, roda giganteRoda moinho, roda piãoO tempo rodou num instanteNas voltas do meu coração...

A roda da saia mulataNão quer mais rodar não senhorNão posso fazer serenataA roda de samba acabou...

A gente toma a iniciativaViola na rua a cantarMas eis que chega a roda vivaE carrega a viola prá lá...

Roda mundo, roda giganteRoda moinho, roda piãoO tempo rodou num instanteNas voltas do meu coração...

O samba, a viola, a roseiraQue um dia a fogueira queimouFoi tudo ilusão passageiraQue a brisa primeira levou...

No peito a saudade cativaFaz força pro tempo pararMas eis que chega a roda vivaE carrega a saudade prá lá ...

Roda mundo, roda giganteRoda moinho, roda piãoO tempo rodou num instanteNas voltas do meu coração...(4x)

The wheel of life

There are days that we feelJust as someone that has left or diedMaybe, we have stopped in timeOr either the world is the one who has evolved

We want to make our voices heardand be the owners of our own destinyBut there comes the wheel of lifeand takes our destiny far away

The world turns, big wheel,The windmill turns, the trompo turnsTime has twirled in a flashAmong the turnarounds of my heart

We go ahead against the tideuntil we can no longer resistIt's only at the ship's homecoming that we noticehow much we had left undoneFor so long we have grownthe most beautiful rose that existsBut there comes the wheel of lifeand takes the rose far away

The world turns, big wheelThe windmill turns, the trompo turnsTime has twirled in a flashAmong the turnarounds of my heart

Her long hemline skirt,the mulata doesn't want to swirl it anymoreI don't play serenades anymore*The circle/party of samba is over

We take the iniciative,putting our violas out in the streets to singBut there comes the wheel of lifeand takes the violas far away

The world turns, big wheelThe windmill turns, the trompo turnsTime twirled in a instantAmong the turnarounds of my heart

The samba, the violas, the rosewhich one day, the fire has burnedAll were only brief illusions,which the early breeze has carried away

In our hearts, the nostalgia growsIt tries hard to stop timeBut there comes the wheel of lifeand takes the nostalgia far away

The world turns, big wheelThe windmill turns, the trompo turnsTime twirled in a instantAmong the turnarounds of my heart
