Banda da Ilusão

It's parade day and I can't be late
If I say I won't go, the band will come to get me
In the middle of the parade I'll play my bombard
In a barrel of longing, I blow away the loneliness

Bottles thrown on the way I've left behind
Empty of the certainty I sought with them
In the band of illusion, playing the bombard
I say yes, life said no

There are so many instruments in life
And these distracted people are carrying their cross
Some play everything and others nothing
They keep playing on this road, those who don't play don't translate

I play this bitterness crossed, this desperate pain
This will without the will to live
It's the law of life, love, play to not die
My story is so big, there's not even time to write

In the middle of any sentence, one day I'll die
And the debts that remain, I'll pray on my rosary
They are verses of a poem I couldn't finish
At night I always sleep hoping to die
But soon the band wakes me up to live
With no other solution, I grab the bombard
And I'll play in the band of illusion

There are so many instruments in life
And these distracted people are carrying their cross
Some play everything and others nothing
They keep playing on this road, those who don't play don't translate

I play this bitterness crossed, this desperate pain
This will without the will to live
It's the law of life, love, play to not die
My story is so big, there's not even time to write

In the middle of any sentence, one day I'll die
And the debts that remain, I'll pray on my rosary
They are verses of a poem I couldn't finish
At night I always sleep hoping to die
But soon the band wakes me up to live
With no other solution, I grab the bombard
And I'll play in the band of illusion
