Milton Nascimento "Nos bailes da vida" lyrics

Translation to:enfr

Nos bailes da vida

Foi nos bailes da vida ou num barEm troca de pãoQue muita gente boa pôs o pé na profissãoDe tocar um instrumento e de cantarNão importando se quem pagou quis ouvirFoi assim

Cantar era buscar o caminhoQue vai dar no solTenho comigo as lembranças do que eu eraPara cantar nada era longe tudo tão bomAté a estrada de terra na boléia de caminhãoEra assim

Com a roupa encharcada e a almaRepleta de chãoTodo artista tem de ir aonde o povo estáSe for assim, assim seráCantando me disfarço e não me cansode viver nem de cantar

In the dances of life

It was in the dances of life or at a barIn exchange for breadThat a lot of good people set foot on the professionOf playing an instrument and singingNot caring if who payed wanted to hearIt was like that

To sing was to search the pathThat leads to the sunI have with me the memories of what I wasTo sing nothing was far, everything so goodEven the dirt road in the truck cabIt was like that

With soaked clothes and the soulFull of groundEvery artist have to go where the people areIf so, so it will beSinging I disguise and don't get tiredOf living nor singing
