Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Parei pra pensar o que aconteceu

Stopped to think about what happened

Entre eu e ela

Between me and her

Lembrei-me de tudo

I remembered everything

Dos planos e sonhos

About plans and dreams

Que a gente viveu

That we lived

Mais de vinte anos

For more than twenty years

De uma convivência

Of coexistence

De fazer inveja

To make others jealous

Nas horas de angústia

In moments of anguish

E de alegria

And joy

Onde ela ia

Where she went

Lá estava eu

There was I


Nem bodas de prata

Neither silver weddings

Nem bodas de ouro

Nor golden weddings

Tivemos a chance de comemorar

We had the chance to celebrate

Hoje contemplamos o grande tesouro

Today we contemplate the great treasure

Que nenhum de nós soube aproveitar

That neither of us knew how to take advantage of

Tesouro que a gente

A treasure that we

Não compra nem vende

Neither buy nor sell

Porque não soubemos avaliar

Because we didn't know how to appreciate

O grande exemplo da família unida

The great example of a united family

Que nem eu nem ela foi capaz de dar

That neither I nor she was able to give


Faltava tão pouco

We were so close

Pra comemorarmos as bodas de prata

To celebrating the silver weddings

Houve uma briga

There was a fight

Foi inevitável a separação

Separation was inevitable

Porém nossos filhos

But our children

Que também tem filhos não compreendem

Who also have children don't understand

Como um casal que tem tantos planos

How a couple with so many plans

E viveram quase vinte e cinco anos

And lived almost twenty-five years

Jogam para o alto tamanha paixão

Throws away such passion


Nem bodas de prata

Neither silver weddings

Nem bodas de ouro

Nor golden weddings

Tivemos a chance de comemorar

We had the chance to celebrate

Hoje contemplamos o grande tesouro

Today we contemplate the great treasure

Que nenhum de nós soube aproveitar

That neither of us knew how to take advantage of

Tesouro que a gente

A treasure that we

Não compra nem vende

Neither buy nor sell

Porque não soubemos avaliar

Because we didn't know how to appreciate

O grande exemplo da família unida

The great example of a united family

Que nem eu nem ela foi capaz de dar

That neither I nor she was able to give
