Translation of the song lyrics Era Pra Durar - Zizi Possi

Era Pra Durar (original)

No meu diário
Eu escrevi
A linda história de um país
Agora vou ter que apagar
Era pra dar certo
A esperança
De ninguém levar vantagem
Era bom demais
Pra gente acreditar
Num quadro-negro
O que se escreve
É tão fácil de apagar
Palavras ao vento
São pra ir, o vento levar
No meu diário
O que eu escrevo
É pra se perpetuar
A linda história de um país
Era pra durar
Era pra durar
Era pra dar certo, sim
Era pra durar…

(translation)

In my diary
I wrote
The beautiful story of a country
Now I will have to erase
It was supposed to work
The hope
From nobody taking advantage
it was too good
for us to believe
on a blackboard
What writes
It's so easy to erase
Words at wind
They are to go, the wind takes
In my diary
What I write
It's to perpetuate
The beautiful story of a country
It was supposed to last
It was supposed to last
It was meant to be, yes
It was supposed to last...
