O Caminho Pisado [English translation]

From the bed to the shower, from the shower to the living room

Sleeplessness persists, sun is up again

Life insists to repeat an old routine

That is repeated by so many others

Slowly eating the same old bread

He sits and reads the newspaper

It all seems normal

One less day, one more crime

Really really deep inside, it makes no difference

And it is now time to get dressed with your old suit once again

And to walk the walked path

That leads you towards an everyday battle

To find a place in the bus to seat and dream

And so it goes again, and again*...

Useful days give place to useless ones

Never long enough for you to remember or to forget who you are

This unhealthy** air in this unhealthy neighbourhood in this unhealthy age

The heavy hand*** brings you an offer

Then checks the change, mocking you

Then gets in charge, the trip starts

And while it is not yet time for the day to start

In most of the city, for fun or rebellion

The heavy hand will open

Offering a false hope that everything will change

And so it goes again, and again...
