Apesar de Você

Chico Buarque Chico Buarque

In Spite of You

Tomorrow will be a brand new day
Tomorrow will be a brand new day
Tomorrow will be a brand new day

Currently, you're the one in charge
Your word is the law
There's no argument, no
My folks currently go around
Talking sideways
And staring at the ground, you know

You, who invented this state
And conceived to invent
Every bit of darkness
You, who invented sin
Forgot to invent
Forgiveness

In spite of you
Tomorrow will be
A brand new day
I ask you
Where you're going to hide
From such great euphoria
How will you prohibit
The rooster when it insists
On crowing?
New waters flowing
And all of us in love
On and on

When the time comes
It's of my interest
That my suffering be charged with interest
All of this repressed love
This restrained scream
This dance in the dark

You, who invented sadness
At least be kind enough
To uninvent it
You will pay double
For every tear shed
In my sorrow

In spite of you
Tomorrow will be
A brand new day
I'm dying to see
The garden flourish
Against your will
You won't like it at all
When the day shines
Without asking your permission
And I will die laughing
Because this moment will happen
Sooner than you think

In spite of you
Tomorrow will be
A brand new day
You will have to see
The morning reborn
With poetry to spare
How will you explain yourself
When the sky clears up
Suddenly, unpunished?
How will you drown out
Our chorus when it's singing
In front of you?

In spite of you
Tomorrow will be
A brand new day
It will end badly for you
And so on, and so on
La la la la laia
