Lyrics and translation Fellini - Clepsidra

Clepsidra

É, o tempo voa
Na festa de fim de ano
Os corredores passando lá fora

É, que maratona
Meu também correu quando jovem
Na São Silvestre da memória

É, o tempo voa
Uma música chamada clepsidra
No festival da escola

É, o tempo voa
As pegadas do homem na lua
E a visita do meu pai ao navio

É, que monte de coisa
Ela morre mais retorna um dia
Transformada em garoa

É, Ars longa vita brevis
Dela só espinhos e nos filmes
As mulheres tão leves

É, o tempo voa
As pegadas do homem na lua
E a visita do meu pai ao navio

É, que monte de coisa
Ela morre, mas retorna um dia
Transformada em garoa

Clepsidra

Time flies, my dear
At a New Year's Eve party, bubbling with cheer
The hallways bustling just outside

It's quite the marathon, my sweet
My own time flew by when I was young and fleet
In the Saint Silvester race, the memories still reside

Indeed, time flies, my love
A song entitled "Clepsidra," a melody from above
In our school festival, it played

Time flies, it's true
The footprints of man on the moon, a sight we knew
And my father's visit to a ship, a memory so clear

Oh, the myriad things we've seen
Memories fade, but they'll return someday, serene
Transformed into a gentle rain

Art is long, life is short, my own
In it, only thorns and in movies, it's shown
The women, so graceful and light

Time flies, it's true, my love
The footprints of man on the moon, a sight from above
And my father's visit to a ship, a memory so clear

Oh, the myriad things we've seen
Memories fade, but they'll return someday, serene
Transformed into a gentle rain
