As our parents

Elis no Fantástico

I don't want to talk, my greatest love,

About things that I've learned from my records.

I want to tell you how my life was like

And about all that happened to me.

Living is better than dreaming.

I know that love is a pretty good thing

But I also know that any place

is smaller than anyone's

life

For this reason, watch out, darling,

Danger is around the corner

They won,

and the traffic light is red for us

who are young.

To embrace your brother

and kiss your girl in the street

is what your arms,

your lips and your voice are made for.

You ask me what is my passion

I say I'm delighted

as if I had created a new invention

I'm going to stay in this city,

I'm not coming back to the backwoods.

Because I sense the smell

of the new season blowing in the wind

I feel everything

in the open wound in my heart

It's been a while since I saw you on the street,

With your hair blowing in the wind,

All the young people joined together.

This memory is the picture that hurts me most

My pain is to realize

that despite all we have done

We are still the same as before and we live [x2]

as our parents did

Our idols are still the same

and the appearances don't disguise it at all

You say that after them,

no new idols have ever existed

You may even say that I'm out-of-date,

Or that I made all this up

But it's you the one who loves the past and can't see

it's you the one who loves the past and can't see

That 
new times will come

Now I've learned that the man who taught me

of a new conscience and youth

is now guarded by God at home,

counting coins

My pain is to realize

that despite all we have done

all all all that we have done

We are still the same and we live

We are still the same and we live

as our parents did.
