Paroles et traduction Chico Buarque - A Banda

A Banda

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 vantagem 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

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 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 pra ela

A marcha alegre se espalhou na avenida e insistiu
A lua cheia que vivia escondida surgiu
Minha cidade toda se enfeitou
Pra ver a banda passar
Cantando coisas de amor

Mas para meu desencanto
O que era doce acabou
Tudo tomou seu lugar
Depois que a banda passou

E cada qual no seu canto
E em cada canto uma dor
Depois da banda passar
Cantando coisas de amor

Depois da banda passar
Cantando coisas de amor
Depois da banda passar
Cantando coisas de amor
Depois da banda passar
Cantando coisas de amor

The Band

I was just hanging around in life
My love called me
To see the band pass by
Singing love songs

My suffering people
Said farewell to pain
To see the band pass by
Singing love songs

The serious man who counted money stopped
The lighthouse keeper who boasted stopped
The girlfriend who counted the stars stopped
To see, listen, and make way

The sad girl who lived in silence smiled
The sad rose that lived closed opened up
And all the kids got excited
To see the band pass by
Singing love songs

I was just hanging around in life
My love called me
To see the band pass by
Singing love songs

My suffering people
Said farewell to pain
To see the band pass by
Singing love songs

The weak old man forgot his tiredness and thought
That he was still young to go out on the terrace and danced
The ugly girl leaned out the window
Thinking that the band was playing for her

The cheerful march spread along the avenue and insisted
The full moon that lived hidden appeared
My whole city was decorated
To see the band pass by
Singing love songs

But to my disappointment
What was sweet ended
Everything took its place
After the band passed by

And each one in their corner
And in each corner a pain
After the band passed by
Singing love songs

After the band passed by
Singing love songs
After the band passed by
Singing love songs
After the band passed by
Singing love songs
