Elis Regina - Como Nossos Pais

I don't want to tell you, my great love

The things I learned from music albums

I want to tell you how I've lived

and everything that has happened to me

Living is better than dreaming

and I know that love is a good thing

But I also know that any song

is smaller than any person's life

So be careful, my dear

there's danger at the corner

They've won

and the traffic lights are closed for us

who are young

To hug your brother

and kiss your girl

on the street

This is why your arms

your lips

and your voice were made

You ask me about my passion

I say I'm fascinated

like a new invention

I'll stay in this city

I won't go back to the Sertão

Because I can feel the new season's smell coming with the wind

I feel everything in the living wound

of my hearth

It's been a long time

I saw you on the street

wind-swept hair

young people gathered
