Umas e Outras
Chico Buarque
Some and Others
If one never has a smile
It's best to keep to oneself
And says she's waiting for paradise
And the time to vent
Life is made of a rosary
That takes so long to finish
That's why sometimes it stops
And sits down to cry a little
What a day! Wow, why so many bills
I've lost count of how much I've prayed
If the other one doesn't have paradise
She doesn't give it much importance
Because she's already forged her smile
And made a profession out of it
Life is always that dance
Where you don't choose your partner
That's why sometimes she gets tired
And sits down to cry a little
What a day! Gosh, what a tough life
So many sidewalks to walk on
But every blessed dawn
When one has dreamed of God
And the other, a sad girlfriend
Poor thing, has already slept with hers
Fate makes these two
Who luck always kept apart
Cross paths on the same street
Looking at each other with the same pain
What a day! Wow, why so many bills
I've lost count of how much I've prayed
What a day! Gosh, what a tough life
So many sidewalks to walk on
What a day! Good Lord, what a long life
Why so much life to make us lose heart
