A Banda
Chico Buarque
The Band
I was aimless in life
My love called me
To see the band pass
Singing love songs
My suffering people
Said goodbye to the pain
To see the band pass
Singing love songs
The serious man that was counting money stoped
The boasting lighthouse keeper stopped
The girlfriend counting the stars
Stoped to see, to listen, and open the way
The sad girl that was always quiet smiled
The sad rose that used to be closed has opened
And all the girl freaked out
To see the band pass
Singing love songs
I was aimless in life
My love called me
To see the band pass
Singing love songs
My suffering people
Said goodbye to the pain
To see the band pass
Singing love songs
The weak old man forgot his tiredness and thought
That he was still young to go on the terrace and danced
The ugly girl leaned out the window
Thinking the band was playing for her
The happy march spread out on the avenue and insisted
The full Moon that lived hidden appeared
My whole city was decorated
To see the band pass singing love songs
But to my dismay
What was sweet is over
Everything took its place
After the band passed
And each one in it's corner
In every corner a pain
After the band passes
Singing love songs
After the band passes
Singing love songs
