Текст и перевод песни Paulinho Nogueira - 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
Em cada canto uma dor
Depois da banda passar
Cantando coisas de amor
Depois da banda passar
Cantando coisas de amor...

The Band

I was just hanging out
My love called me
To watch the band pass by
Singing love songs

My poor people
Bid farewell to pain
To watch the band pass by
Singing love songs

The serious man who was counting money stopped
The lighthouse keeper who was bragging stopped
The girlfriend who was counting the stars stopped
To see, hear, and make way for the band

The sad girl who was always quiet smiled
The sad rose that was always closed opened
And all the kids got excited
To see the band pass by
Singing love songs

I was just hanging out
My love called me
To watch the band pass by
Singing love songs

My poor people
Bid farewell to pain
To watch the band pass by
Singing love songs

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

The happy march spread through the avenue and lingered
The full moon that had been hiding appeared
My whole city was decorated
To watch the band pass by, singing love songs

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

And each of us in our own corner
In each corner, a pain
After the band passed by
Singing love songs
After the band passed by
Singing love songs...
