Nesta Cidade
Amado Batista
In This City
When I arrived in this city
I was like this
Full of dreams and desire
Inside of me
I was alone in this city
Among the crowds
How to talk to people
If they were millions
Walking the streets was a mystery
To my eyes
What to do, where to go
Where to stay
I took my song along the paths
Of emotion
Of those people
Lost like me in the crowd
My story
Was all written by what I saw
I didn't invent
Nor said anything I didn't feel
They say I abuse
The term sentimental
But I sing life
As it is, naturally
In this city
It's been ten years since I got lost
Here a man
Has a lot to discover
I tell these people
With prejudice in their hearts
That my song
Is the same as I learned in the crowd
