Há Tempos [English translation]

Looks like cocaine but it's just sadness, maybe your city.

Many fears are born from fatigue and loneliness

And imbalance and squandering are heirs

Now of the virtuousness that we lost.

Since long I had a dream

I can't remember, I can't remember

Your sadness is so exact

And today the day is so beautiful

We already got used to

Not having even that anymore.

Dreams come and dreams go

Everything else is flawed.

You said that if your voice had equal force

As the immense pain you feel

Your scream would wake up

Not only your home

But the entire neighborhood.

And since long not even the saints know for sure

The extent of evil

And since long it’s the youth who falls ill

And since long grace is absent

And there’s rust in the smiles

And only luck reaches out

To those who seek shelter and protection.

My love, discipline is freedom

Compassion is fortitude

Having kindness is having courage

And she said:

-There is a well at my house, but the water is too clean.
