Paroles et traduction Paulinho Moska feat. Milton Nascimento - Nos Bailes da Vida

Nos Bailes da Vida

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 boleia de caminhão
Era assim
Com a roupa encharcada e a alma
Repleta de chão
Todo artista tem de ir aonde o povo está
Se foi assim, assim será
Cantando me disfarço e não me canso
De viver nem de cantar
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 boleia de caminhão
Era assim
Com a roupa encharcada e a alma
Repleta de chão
Todo artista tem de ir aonde o povo está
Se foi assim, assim será
Cantando me disfarço e não me canso
De viver nem de cantar

The Dances of Life

It was at the dances of life or at a bar
In exchange for bread
That many good people got their foot in the profession
Of playing an instrument and singing
Not caring if those who paid wanted to hear
That's how it was
Singing was searching for the path
That leads to the sun
I carry with me the memories of what I was
To sing nothing was far, everything so good
Even the dirt road in the back of a truck
That's how it was
With clothes soaked and soul
Filled with ground
Every artist must go where the people are
If that's how it was, that's how it will be
By singing, I disguise myself and never tire
Of living or singing
Singing was searching for the path
That leads to the sun
I carry with me the memories of what I was
To sing nothing was far, everything so good
Even the dirt road in the back of a truck
That's how it was
With clothes soaked and soul
Filled with ground
Every artist must go where the people are
If that's how it was, that's how it will be
By singing, I disguise myself and never tire
Of living or singing
