Portuguese 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
