Lyrics and translation Daniela Mercury - La Banda (feat. I Koko)

La Banda (feat. I Koko)

Estava à toa na vida
O meu amor me chamou
Pra ver a banda passar
Cantando coisas de Amor
A minha gente sofrida
Despediu-se da dor
Pra ver a banda passar
Cantando coisas de amor
O homem sério que contava dinheiro, parou
O faroleiro que contava vantagens, parou
A namorada que contava as estrelas
Parou para ver, ouvir e dar passagem
A moça triste que vivia calada, sorriu
A rosa triste que vivia fechada, se abriu
E a meninada toda se assanhou
Pra ver a banda passar
Cantando coisas de amor
Una tristezza così
Non la sentivo da mai
Ma poi la banda arrivò
E allora tutto passò
Volevo dire di no
Quando la banda passò
Ma il mio ragazzo era lì
E allora dissi di sì
E una ragazza che era triste sorrise all'amor
Ed una rosa che era chiusa di colpo sbocciò
Ed una frotta di bambini festosi
Si mise a suonar come fa la banda
E un uomo serio il suo cappello per aria lanciò
Fermò una donna che passava e poi la baciò
Dalle finestre quanta gente spuntò
Quando la banda passò cantando cose d'amor
O velho fraco se esqueceu do cansaço e pensou
Que ainda era moço pra sair no terraço e dançou
A moça feia debruçou na janela
Pensando que a banda tocava para ela
A marcha alegre se espalhou na avenida e insistiu
A rua cheia que vivia escondida, surgiu
Minha cidade toda se enfeitou
Pra ver a banda passar
Cantando coisas de amor
Quando la banda passò
Nel cielo il sole spuntò
Ma il mio ragazzo era lì
E allora dissi di sì
La banda suona per voi
La banda suona per voi
Lararara rarara, Lararara rarara
Mas para meu desencanto
O que era doce acabou
Tudo tomou seu lugar
Depois que a banda passou
E cada qual no seu canto
Em cada canto uma dor
Depois da banda passar
Cantando coisas de amor
Depois da Banda passar
La banda suona per voi
Depois da banda passar
La banda suona per voi
Depois da banda passar
Cantando coisas de amor
Cantando coisas de amor
De amor...

The Band (feat. I Koko)

I was just hanging about in life
My love called me
To see the band pass by
Singing love songs
My suffering people
Said goodbye to the pain
To see the band pass by
Singing love songs
The serious man, counting money, stopped
The street vendor, counting his profits, stopped
The girlfriend, counting the stars
Stopped to see, listen and let the band pass
The sad girl who lived in silence, smiled
The sad rose, that lived closed up, bloomed
And the children got all excited
To see the band pass by
Singing love songs
Such a sadness
I had never felt before
But then the band arrived
And then everything passed
I wanted to say no
When the band passed by
But my boyfriend was there
And so I said yes
And a girl who was sad, smiled at love
And a rose that was closed up, suddenly bloomed
And a bunch of happy children
Started to play music like the band
And a serious man threw his hat in the air
Stopped a woman who was passing by and kissed her
How many people appeared from the windows
When the band passed by singing love songs
The old man, weak, forgot how tired he was and thought
That he was still young enough to go out on the terrace and dance
The ugly girl leaned out of the window
Thinking that the band was playing for her
The cheerful march spread down the street and carried on
The crowded street, that had been hidden away, appeared
All my city dressed up
To see the band pass by
Singing love songs
When the band passed by
The sun appeared in the sky
But my boyfriend was there
And so I said yes
The band is playing for you
The band is playing for you
Lararara rarara, Lararara rarara
But to my dismay
What was sweet ended
Everything went back to its place
After the band passed by
And each one to their corner
In each corner a pain
After the band passed by
Singing love songs
After the band passed by
The band is playing for you
After the band passed by
The band is playing for you
After the band passed by
Singing love songs
Singing love songs
Of love...
