Como Nossos Pais [English translation]

I don't want to tell you, my love

About the things I've learned on records

I want to tell you how I've lived and everything that happened to me

Living is better than dreaming

And I know love is a good thing

But I also know that any song is smaller than the life of any person

So, be careful, dear, there is danger around the corner

They have won, and the traffic light is closed to us who are young

To embrace your brother and to kiss your girl on the street

Is why your arms were made, your lips and your voice

You ask me about my passion

I say I am delighted like a new invention

I will stay in this city, I'm not going back to the country

For I see coming in the wind the smell of a new season

I know everything in the living wound of my heart

It's been a while since I saw you on the street, hair in the wind, young people gathered

On the walls of my memory, that remembrance is the painting that hurts the most

My pain is to realize that even though we've done all that we've done

We are still the same, and we live

As our parents

Our idols are still the same and the appearances don't deceive, no

You say that after them no one else appeared

You might even say that I don't know anything or that I'm making this up

But it is you who loves the past and doesn't see

It is you who loves the past and doesn't see

That the new always comes

Today I know that the one who gave me the idea of a new consciousness and youth

Is at home guarded by God counting money

My pain is to realize that even though we've done all that we've done

We are still the same, and we live

As our parents
