Ja Te Falei Lyrics Translation in English
Rita LeePortuguese Lyrics
English Translation
Já te falei
I already told you
Ouvi dizer por aí
I heard it said around
Já gritei, telefonei, cantei por toda cidade
I've already shouted, called, sung throughout the city
Pelo beco, pelo meio da Avenida Central,
Through the alley, through the middle of Central Avenue,
no jardim
in the garden
Já divulguei
I've already spread the word
Anunciei por aí
Announced it around
Por e-mail, por correio veio toda a verdade
By email, by mail, the whole truth came
Já mandei no megafone
I've already sent it on the megaphone
pra toda gente escutar
for everyone to hear
Notícia que se espalha
News that spreads
Paira em qualquer lugar
Hovers anywhere
Li no outdoor, pus na canção,
I read it on the billboard, put it in the song,
deu no cinema
it showed in the cinema
Que a vida vale a pena
That life is worth living
Na matinê, no botequim,
In the matinee, in the bar,
na madrugada
in the early morning
Vida que vale a pena
Life that is worth living
Já escutei
I've heard
E repeti por aí
And repeated around
Coloquei cartazes nos murais
I put up posters on the walls
de toda cidade
of the entire city
Já berrei no microfone
I shouted on the microphone
a todo volume no ar
at full volume in the air
Palavra que se espalha
Word that spreads
Pluma no vendaval
Feather in the whirlwind
Vi no gibi, foi por aí, li num poema
I saw it in the comic, it went around, I read it in a poem
Que a vida vale a pena
That life is worth living
Li no jornal, vi na TV, foi pela antena
I read it in the newspaper, saw it on TV, it was through the antenna
Que a vida vale a pena
That life is worth living
No futebol, no carnaval, na batucada
In football, in carnival, in the drumming
Vida que vale a pena.
Life that is worth living.
