Como Nossos Pais

Like Our Parents

I don't want to talk to you, my great love
About things that I've learned from my vinyls
I want to tell you how my life was
And all that happened to me

To live is better than dreaming
I know that love is a good thing
But I also know that any place
Is smaller than the life of anyone

For this reason, watch out, darling
Danger is waiting around the corner
They won and the way is closed to us
That are young

To hug your brother
And kiss your girl in the street
Is that your arm was made
Your lips and your voice

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

It's been a while, I saw you in a street
Wind blowing in your hair, young people hanging out
On my mind's wall of memories
This memory is the frame that hurts most

My pain is to realize
That although we have done everything we have done
We are still the same and we live
We are still the same and live
Like our parents

Our idols are still the same
And the appearances don't disguise at all
You say that after them
No one could compare

You may even say that I'm out-of-date
Or so that I am making this up
But it's you that loves the past and that can't see
It's you that loves the past and that can't see
That the new always comes

Now I know who gave me the idea
Of a new conscience and youth
Kept by God counting
The vile metal

My pain is to realize
That in spite of having done everything, everything, everything that we have done
We are still the same and we still live
Still are the same and still live
We are still the same and live
