Lyrics and translation Rui Veloso - Em Busca Dum Visual




Em Busca Dum Visual
Looking for a Look
Se andas por perdido
If you're wandering around lost
Em busca dum visual
Looking for a look
Se deitaste fora o antigo
If you've thrown out the old
E recusas outro igual
And refuse another just like it
Se andas desiludido
If you're disillusioned
E tudo à volta te cheira a velho
And everything around you smells like old
Se não atinas com o partido
If you can't find the party
E nem tens no evangelho
And you don't even have faith in the gospel
Hey man, não faças cara de drama
Hey man, don't be a drama queen
És um velho lobo do mar
You're an old sea dog
estiveste bem pior
You've been there before
Sempre te conseguiste safar
You've always managed to get by
quantos oceanos
Look how many oceans
Tu acertaste na muche
You've conquered
Quando quinhentos anos
When five hundred years ago
Eras mesmo a coqueluche
You were the darling
se perdes a mania
Look if you lose the habit
De deixar as coisas a meio
Of leaving things halfway
E seja a tua burguesia
And your middle class
Menos língua e mais maneio
Less talk and more action
Hey man, não faças cara de drama
Hey man, don't be a drama queen
És um velho lobo do mar
You're an old sea dog
estiveste bem pior
You've been there before
Sempre te conseguiste safar
You've always managed to get by
Olha mas é por ti abaixo
Look down on yourself
Compõe-me esse visual
Put together that look
Põe-me fim a esse desleixo
Put an end to that sloppiness
Económico-espiritual
Economically and spiritually
