Por Que Nós?

We were famous lyricists, we were sane
Lucid skeptics, not cynical
Practical musicians, only of song
Nothing didactic, not even in intention
Typical shy, with no solution
They labeled us, all in vain
We were unique in the generation
It was us this time

We had classic doubts, much affliction
Logical criticisms, not acidic
Great pearls, cards in hand
They were messages for the whole nation
We were subjects of rebellion
Placid symbols, not candid
Minimal idols, multiple action

There's always people to call us
Be they thousands, hundreds or two
Tournaments of the voice remain in time
It wasn't just yesterday, it's today and tomorrow
They are moments inside us
They are other winds that come from the lungs
And gain colors in the height of the voice
And those who live will see

We were serene in a fast world
We never understood then why us
Just more or less
