...e Era Copacabana Lyrics Translation in English
Joyce MorenoPortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Noites febris
Feverish nights
Tempos gentis
Gentle times
Eu já fui tão feliz
I was once so happy
Mais do que eu quis
More than I wanted
Mais que eu pude querer
More than I could desire
E era Copacabana
And it was Copacabana
Loucas paixões
Crazy passions
Tantas canções
So many songs
Eu já tive ilusões
I had illusions
Momentos bons
Good moments
Hoje com meus botões
Today, with my own thoughts
Penso que nada mais me engana
I think nothing deceives me anymore
Foi num tempo em que era tudo demais
It was a time when everything was too much
Tempos atrás
Times ago
Quimera fugaz
Fleeting chimera
Sonhos de paz e promessas banais
Dreams of peace and trivial promises
Mera fumaça que a vida desfaz
Mere smoke that life unravels
Igual a um puro havana
Like a pure Havana cigar
Caminhando pelas ruas assim
Walking through the streets like this
Dentro de mim
Inside of me
Nem penso ao que vim
I don't even think about what I came for
Penso que a vida nem sempre é ruim
I think life is not always bad
É só o enredo de um mau folhetim
It's just the plot of a bad soap opera
A vida é simplesmente humana
Life is simply human
