Moral da História Lyrics Translation in English

Era uma vez uma gaiola prata

Once upon a time, a silver cage

Que tinha dentro

That had inside

Um passarinho que cantava

A little bird that sang

Mas depois que ele cantava

But after he sang

Ele se lamentava no ombro da gaiola

He lamented on the cage's shoulder

Pensando que era feliz lá dentro

Thinking he was happy inside

Mas podia ser bem mais lá fora

But it could be much better outside

E a gaiola, contrariada, abriu a porta

And the cage, upset, opened the door

E falou bate asas

And said, "Spread your wings"

Mas esquece o caminho de volta

But forget the way back

E o passarinho, então, voou, voou, voou

And the little bird then flew, flew, flew

E a tal felicidade ele nunca encontrou

And that happiness he never found

Moral da história

Moral of the story

O passarinho era eu e ela era a gaiola

The little bird was me, and she was the cage

Bateu arrependimento

Regret struck

Voltei tinha outro passarinho na gaiola

I came back; there was another bird in the cage

Com ovinho dentro

With eggs inside

Ninguém tá feliz com o que tá tendo

Nobody's happy with what they have

Quem casa quer ficar solteiro

Who's married wants to be single

E quem tá solteiro quer um casamento

And who's single wants a marriage
