Lyrics of As Rosas Eram Todas Amarelas - Jorge Ben

As Rosas Eram Todas Amarelas (original)

O adolescente
O ofendido
O jogador
O ladrão honrado
Todos sabiam
Mas ninguém falava
Esperando a hora de dizer, sorrindo
Que as rosas eram todas amarelas
Que as rosas eram todas amarelas
Que as rosas eram todas amarelas
Lendo um livro de um poeta, á á á á
Da mitologia contemporânea, á á á á
Sofisticado senti que ele era, á á á á
Pois morrendo de amor
Renunciando em ser poeta dizia
Basta eu saber que poderei viver sem escrever
Mas com o direito de fazer quando quiser
Porque ele sabia
Mas esperava a hora de escrever
Que as rosas
Que as rosas eram todas amarelas
Que as rosas eram todas amarelas
Que as rosas eram todas amarelas
O adolescente (o adolescente)
O ofendido (o ofendido)
O jogador (o jogador)
O ladrão honrado (o ladrão honrado)
Todos sabiam (todos sabiam)
Mas ninguém falava
Esperando a hora de dizer, sorrindo
Que as rosas eram todas amarelas
Que as rosas eram todas amarelas
Que as rosas eram todas amarelas
Que as rosas eram todas amarelas

(translation)

The teenager
the offended
The player
The honorable thief
everyone knew
But nobody spoke
Waiting for the time to say, smiling
That the roses were all yellow
That the roses were all yellow
That the roses were all yellow
Reading a book by a poet, á á á á
From contemporary mythology, á á á á
Sophisticated I felt he was, á á á á
Because dying of love
Giving up on being a poet said
It is enough for me to know that I will be able to live without writing
But with the right to do it whenever you want
because he knew
But I was waiting for the time to write
that the roses
That the roses were all yellow
That the roses were all yellow
That the roses were all yellow
The teenager (the teenager)
The offended (the offended)
The player (the player)
The honorable thief (the honorable thief)
Everyone knew (everyone knew)
But nobody spoke
Waiting for the time to say, smiling
That the roses were all yellow
That the roses were all yellow
That the roses were all yellow
That the roses were all yellow
