Como Nossos Pais

I don't wanna talk to you, my great love
About the things I learned from records
I wanna tell you how I lived
And everything that happened to me

Living is better than dreaming
And I know that love is a good thing
But I also know that any corner
Is smaller than anyone's life

So, be careful, my dear
There's danger around the corner
They won and the light is red for us
Who are young

To hug my brother
And kiss my girl on the street
Is why my lips were made
My arms and my voice

You ask me about my passion
I say I'm enchanted like a new invention
I'm gonna stay in this city, not going back to the countryside
Because I see in the wind the smell of the new season
And I feel everything in the living wound of my heart

It's been a while, I saw you on the street
Hair in the wind, young people gathered
On the wall of memory
This memory is the painting that hurts the most

My pain is realizing
That despite having done everything, everything, everything, everything we did
We're still the same and we live
We're still the same and we live
Like our parents

Our idols are still the same
And appearances, appearances don't deceive, no
You say that after them, no one else appeared

You might even say I'm out of touch
Or that I'm fooling myself
But it's you who loves the past and can't see
It's you who loves the past and can't see
That the new, the new always comes

And today I know that the one who gave me the idea
Of a new consciousness and youth
Is at home, kept by God
Counting his medals

My pain is realizing
That despite having done everything, everything, everything, everything we did
We're still the same and we live
We're still the same and we live
We're still the same and we live
Like our parents
