Como Nossos Pais [English translation]

I won't tell my one true love

About things I learned from lyrics

I'll tell you how I've lived and what happened with me

Living is better than dreaming

And I know love is a good thing

But I also know that no place can contain someone's life

So be careful, there's evil lurking out there

They have won and the traffic light is red to the new generation

Loving and kissing your loved ones

That's what your arm, your lips, and voice were made for

You ask me what I'm passionate about

I say I'm completely taken by this new idea

I'll remain in the city, I won't go back to the hinterlands

Because I see a storm brewing and I feel the smell of a new season

I learned it all from the open wound on my heart

In other times, I would have seen you in the street, hair blowing wild, young people around

In the house of my mind, there's a bittersweet memory hanging on the wall

And it stings to realize that after everything we have done

We've become the same and we live

Just like our parents

We still hold the same idols, but appearances don't deceive anymore

You say no one has come to take their place

You say I'm out of touch or that I'm blowing it out of proportion

But you're the one living in the past and who can't see

You're the one living in the past and who can't see

That a new thing always come

Now I know that those who stirred a new conscience in me

Are holed that in the safety of their homes, counting their money

It stings to realize that after everything we have done

We've become the same and we live

We've become the same and we live

Just like our parents
