Текст и перевод песни Ivan Lins - Aos Nossos Filhos

Aos Nossos Filhos

Perdoem a cara amarrada
Perdoem a falta de abraço
Perdoem a falta de espaço
Os dias eram assim

Perdoem por tantos perigos
Perdoem a falta de abrigo
Perdoem a falta de amigos
Os dias eram assim

Perdoem a falta de folhas
Perdoem a falta de ar
Perdoem a falta de escolha
Os dias eram assim

E quando passarem a limpo
E quando cortarem os laços
E quando soltarem os cintos
Façam a festa por mim

Quando lavarem a mágoa
Quando lavarem a alma
Quando lavarem a água
Lavem os olhos por mim

Quando brotarem as flores
Quando crescerem as matas
Quando colherem os frutos
Digam o gosto pra mim
Digam o gosto pra mim

For Our Children

Forgive my stern face
Forgive my lack of embrace
Forgive my lack of space
That's how the days were

Forgive me for so many dangers
Forgive me for the lack of shelter
Forgive me for the lack of friends
That's how the days were

Forgive me for the lack of leaves
Forgive me for the lack of air
Forgive me for the lack of choice
That's how the days were

And when they've cleaned up
And when they've cut the ties
And when they've let go of their belts
Celebrate for me

When they've washed away the pain
When they've washed their souls
When they've washed the water
Wash their eyes for me

When the flowers bloom
When the forests grow
When they harvest the fruits
Tell me what they taste like
Tell me what they taste like
