A Luz de Tieta
Caetano Veloso
The Light Of Tieta
Every day is the same day
Life is so narrow
Nothing new under the Sun
Has to hide in the dark
Who in the light bathes
Under the sheet
In this land the pain is big
And the ambition small
Carnival and football
Who doesn't pretend
Who doesn't mind
Who else enjoys and pity
Is that beacon
There's someone in us
In a lot of us this someone
That shines more than millions of suns
And that darkness knows too
There is someone here
Deep inside you of me
Who screams to anyone listen
When you sing like this
Every night is the same night
Life is so narrow
Nothing new in the moonlight
Everybody wants to know
Who you lie with
Nothing can thrive
It's Sunday, February
It's September seven
Football and carnival
Nothing changes, it's all dark
And as far as I can remember
A pain that's always the same
There's someone in us
In a lot of us this someone
That shines more than millions of suns
And that darkness knows too
There's someone here
Deep inside you of me
That shouts to anyone who wants to hear
When sings like this
Eta, Eta, Eta, Eta
It's the Moon, it's the Sun is the light of Tieta
Eta, Eta
