Cada Tempo Em Seu Lugar

Gilberto Gil Gilberto Gil

Each Time in Its Place

I need to hold back my desire to help a bit
I won't change a crazy world by punching the air
I can't forget that haste
Is the enemy of perfection
If I'm always in a rush, at least
I learned to be the last one to leave the plane

I need to get rid of the habit of always being good
Kindness can be a vice, lead nowhere
I can't forget that the whip
Was also used by Jesus
If I'm always anxious, at least
I learned to shout and carry my cross

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Each thing in its place
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Kindness, when it's good to be kind
Justice, when it's better
Forgiveness:
If it's necessary to forgive

Now it must be time to rest
An old wise man in Bahia recommended: 'Slow down'
I can't forget that there was a time
When I wasn't even here
If I'm out there running around, at least
I'm learning how to have nowhere else to go

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Each time in its place
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Speed, when it's good
Longing, when it's better
Loneliness:
When disillusionment comes
