Paroles et traduction Ana Carolina - Era

Era

O destino me pregando uma outra peça, eu não queria
Me cercava toda noite, com sua flecha e sua guia
Era o tempo me encostando sua pele traiçoeira
Eram noites tão pesadas, com nuvens sorrateiras
Era a vida me cortando a carne com seu guizo
Ecoando pelos séculos os sons e alguns gemidos
Eram meus antepassados dentro dos bacanais
Era o tempo me emprestando aquilo que eu não devolveria mais
Era um homem nos meus sonhos me curando sem perdão
Eram duas velhas mortas se arrastando pelo chão
Eu soltava os meus cães em meu peito a soluçar
Abafava os meus gritos, pois não sabia ladrar
Achei que não era eu que fazia minha história andar
Punha a culpa no destino ou em quem estivesse à mão para culpar
E era assim
Hoje em dia não me importo com o que fiz no meu passado
Quero amigos, sorte, e muita gente boa do meu lado
E não rebato se disserem por aí que eu tô errado
Porque quem se debate está sozinho ou afogado
Eu, que não fico no meio, não começo e nem acabo
Eu sou filho do amor, não de Deus, nem do diabo
Na ciranda das canções eu me ponho a revezar
Rodando entre as ondas que me puxam em alto-mar
Hoje sei bem que sou eu que giro a minha vida circular
Essa roda, eu que invento e faço tudo nela se encaixar
É, eu sou assim

Era

Fate plays another trick on me, I didn't want it
Surrounding me every night, with its arrow and its guide
It was time rubbing against me, its treacherous skin
They were nights so heavy, with sneaky clouds
It was life cutting me with its bell
Echoing through the centuries, the sounds, and some moans
It was my ancestors within the bacchanalias
It was time lending me what I would never return
It was a man in my dreams healing me without forgiveness
It was two dead old women dragging themselves on the ground
I let my dogs loose in my chest to sob
I stifled my screams, because I didn't know how to bark
I thought it wasn't me who made my story go on
I blamed fate or whoever was at hand to blame
And that's how it was
Nowadays I don't care about what I did in my past
I want friends, luck, and lots of good people by my side
And I don't fight back if they say around there that I'm wrong
Because whoever struggles is alone or drowned
Me, who doesn't stay in the middle, doesn't start, and doesn't end
I'm the son of love, not of God, nor of the devil
In the circle of songs, I take turns
Twirling among the waves that pull me out into the high seas
Today I know well that it's me who turns my life in circles
This wheel, it's me who invents it, and makes everything fit into it
Yes, I'm like that
