Nos Bailes da Vida(original) |
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 |
Té 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 |
(translation) |
It was at the dances of life |
Or in a bar in exchange for bread |
That many good people set foot in the profession |
To play an instrument and to sing |
It doesn't matter if who paid wanted to hear |
It was so |
Singing was looking for the way that leads to the Sun |
I have with me the memories of what I was |
To sing, nothing was far, everything was so good |
You have the dirt road on the truck ride |
It was like this |
With clothes soaked |
The soul full of floor |
Every artist has to go where the people are |
If so, so it will be |
Singing I get rid of it and I don't get tired of living |
Not to sing |
