Tempos Modernos [English translation]

I see a better life in the future

I see this from atop the wall

Made of hypocrisy that keeps on surrounding us

I see a more full and bright life

Full of all the satisfaction

That we've gotten straight

From the firmament to the ground

I want to believe well in love

And for this to be worth for every single person

To realize the strength that a love affair carries within

I see a new beginning of an era

Of nice people, elegant and sincere

Who are able to say more "Yes" than "No"

Today time flies by, my love

It slides by the hands

Even without perceiving

And there isn't any time that comes back, my love

We'll live everything that there has to be lived

Let us allow ourselves
