Envelhecer [English translation]

Growing old is the most modern thing in our lives

Our beards grow and our hair fall to reveal our bald heads

Our children grow old and time says that this time it means it

Other people die and we learn how to forget

I don't want to die because I want to see

How does it feel to grow old

I want to live to see what's the fuss about it

And come to tell me what will happen

I want this carpet to fly

In the middle of the living room

I want the pressure cooker to put pressure

And the sink to drip

I want the alarm goes on

And that I get up from the sofa

I want to put Rita Pavone's song

As a ring-tone on my phone

I want to be in the eye of the hurricane

So that I can enjoy it

And when I forget my own name

Please call me "Old man"

Because being a teenager forever is outdated

What does it feel to grow old

I don't know why people turn their faces to the present day and forget how to learn

That fortunately or unfortunately that time flies by

I don't want to die because I want to see

How does it feel to grow old

I want to live to see what's the fuss about it

And come to tell me what will happen

I want this carpet to fly

In the middle of the living room

I want the pressure cooker to put pressure

And the sink to drip

I want the alarm goes on

And that I get up from the sofa

I want to put Rita Pavone's song

As a ring-tone on my phone

I want to be in the eye of the hurricane

So that I can enjoy it

And when I forget my own name

Please call me "Old man"
