Como Nossos Pais

I don't want to talk to you,
My great love,
About the things I learned
In the records...

I want to tell you how I lived
And everything that happened to me
Living is better than dreaming
I know that love
Is a good thing
But I also know
That any corner
Is smaller than the life
Of any person...

So be careful, my dear
There's danger around the corner
They won and the signal
Is closed for us
Who are young...

To hug your brother
And kiss your girl on the street
It's because your arm was made,
Your lips and your voice...

You ask me
About my passion
I say I'm enchanted
Like a new invention
I'll stay in this city
I won't go back to the backlands
Because I see coming in the wind
The smell of a new season
I know everything in the living wound
Of my heart...

It's been a while
I saw you on the street
Hair in the wind
Young people gathered
On the wall of memory
This memory
Is the painting that hurts the most...

My pain is realizing
That despite everything we've done
We are still the same
And we live
We are still the same
And we live
Like our parents...

Our idols
Are still the same
And appearances
Don't deceive
You say that after them
No one else appeared
You can even say
That I'm out of touch
Or that I'm making it up...

But it's you
Who loves the past
And can't see
It's you
Who loves the past
And can't see
That the new always comes...

Today I know
That the one who gave me the idea
Of a new consciousness
And youth
Is at home
Guarded by God
Counting dirty money...

My pain is realizing
That despite everything we've done
Everything, everything,
That we've done
We are still
The same and we live
We are still
The same and we live
We are still
The same and we live
Like our parents...
