Tudo Que Eu Sempre Sonhei

I always thought it would happen
As a child, I believed in adults
That it was just pay to see
Ugly, somewhat suspicious
Legs crossed, already chubby
Doubting that I could grow up
Even so, however
Time passed
And I kept postponing, silent
The great days I would get to know
Who knows tomorrow? Next year?
Cebolinha with his infallible plans
Would teach me to be

Strong, brave, good at soccer
One of the handsome ones in school
Although I didn't even care
Thank goodness I'm Brazilian
So stubborn, hopeful
Proud to be a five-time champion
Since if I were American
I would grab a gun
And lose my mind:
I would kill fifteen at school
Blow my brains out
And appear on TV

And finally I grew up, from insult to insult
I saw myself as an adult
Cultured, ready for what exactly? I don't even know anymore.
I look and don't find
I wonder if I was a fool
To believe in the tale
Of the vicar I heard
There's no car waiting for me
No reserved table
Just a tasteless Portuguese joke
No wine or champagne or glass
Just a finger of cachaça
And a meager change every end of the month

Everything I've always dreamed of
So much that I achieved
It's so good to be here
As much as there is still to come

Everything I've always dreamed of
So much that I achieved
It's so good to be here

But nonsense, how much bitterness
I already know life is hard
Now it's just a matter of getting used to it
Just have courage and finesse
And the skill
Learned day by day, bar by bar
Why complain if there's brandy
If there's a star on TV
And my team only enters to win?
Why imitate Chico Buarque
Why want to be a martyr
If it's part of the moment to surrender?

And finally there's even a girlfriend
Cute, polite
Serious, everything mom always asks for
There's kissing and also sex
And a guilty conscience
With every new little desire that arises
For another woman, for freedom
For true love
To be able to close your eyes and smile
Thinking that from then on, regardless of your age
The best is yet to come!

Everything I've always dreamed of
So much that I achieved
It's so good to be here
As much as there is still to come

Everything I've always dreamed of
So much that I achieved
It's so good to be here
I know
