Como Nossos Pais [English translation]

I don't want to talk, my greatest love,

About things that I've learned from my vinyls

I want to tell you how my life was like

And about all that betided me

To live is better than dreaming .

I know that love is a pretty good thing

But I also know that any place is smaller than anyone's life

For this reason, watch out, darling,

The danger is waiting around the corner

They won and the way is now barred to us, the youngs.

To embrace your brother and kiss your girl in the street

is what your arms, your lips and your voice are made for

You ask me what's my new passion

I say I'm wondered at all this, it feels like a new invention

I'm going to stay at this city, I'm not coming back to the backwoods

Because I sense the smell of the new season hovering in the wind

I can learn anything through this wound, that lives within my heart

It's been a while since I saw you in a street

With the wind blowing in your hair,

Along young people, all joined together.

Hanging up on my mind's wall,

The memory of this is the frame that hurts me most

My pain is to realize that despite all we have done

We are still the same as before and live...

We are still the same and live as lived our parents

Our idols are still the same

And the appearances don't disguise it at all

You say that after them, no new idols have ever existed

You may even say that I'm out-of-date, that I made up all this

But it's you the one who loves the past and can't see that

new times will always come

Now I've learned that the man who taught me of a new conscience and youth

is now sitting at home, guarded by Lord, counting coins of vain money

My pain is to realize that despite all we've done

We are still the same as before and live...

We are still the same and live as lived our parents
