Nos Bailes Da Vida

NOS BAILES DA VIDA
(Milton Nascimento - Fernando Brant)

Foi nos bailes da vida
Ou num bar em troca de pão
Que muita gente boa pôs o pé na profissão
De tocar um instrumento e de cantar
Não importando se quem pagou quis ouvir
Foi assim

Cantar era buscar o caminho
Que vai dar no sol
Tenho comigo as lembranças do que eu era
Para cantar nada era longe
Tudo tão bom
Até a estrada de terra
Na boléia de caminhão
Era assim

Com a roupa encharcada
A alma repleta de chão
Todo artista tem de ir
Aonde o povo está
Se foi assim, assim será
Cantando me desfaço
E não me canso de viver
Nem de cantar

At the Balls of Life

AT THE BALLS OF LIFE
(Milton Nascimento - Fernando Brant)

It was at the balls of life
Or in a bar in exchange for bread
That many good people put their foot in the profession
Of playing an instrument and singing
Not caring if the one who paid wanted to listen
That's the way it was

Singing was seeking the path
That leads to the sun
I have with me the memories of what I was
To sing nothing was far
All so good
Even the dirt road
In the back of a truck
That's the way it was

With soaked clothes
Soul full of dirt
Every artist has to go
To where the people are
If that's the way it was, that's the way it will be
Singing I melt away
And I don't get tired of living
Nor of singing
