Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Não se deve escrever por entre

One should not write in between

As linhas do destino

The lines of destiny

Nem soprar os ventos

Nor blow the winds

Que guiam o acaso

That guide chance

Talvez são tantas dúvidas

Perhaps there are so many doubts

Uma única certeza

Only one certainty

Apenas de estar

Just to be

Seguindo os próprios passos

Following one's own steps


Eu sempre estive por aqui

I've always been around here

Mas nem sempre foi assim

But it wasn't always like this

Velhos mundos que se revoltam

Old worlds that rebel

E ainda voltam

And still come back

Pra dizer até logo mais

To say goodbye for now


Ainda somos os mesmos

We are still the same

Aqueles que corriam na rua de baixo

Those who used to run on the street below

Ainda somos os mesmos

We are still the same

Aqueles que jogavam Atari no Eldorado

Those who played Atari in Eldorado

Ainda somos os mesmos

We are still the same

Aqueles que brigavam e ainda são tantos casos

Those who fought, and there are still many cases

Ainda somos os mesmos

We are still the same


E depois de tanto tempo

And after so much time

Sem rever aquela infância

Without revisiting that childhood

Pensei de quem seriam

I wondered whose

Aqueles longos passos

Those long steps belonged to

Fotos desbotadas

Faded photos

Guardadas na gaveta

Stored in the drawer

A poeira que encobria

The dust that covered

Os rostos e os abraços

The faces and the hugs
