Tocando em Frente [English translation]

I walk slowly because I have already been in a hurry

and I carry this happy smile because I have already cried too much

Now I feel stronger, happier, who knows

I only carry the certainty that I know very little, or I know nothing.

[Refrain:]

To learn about the tricks and about the mornings,

About the taste of the mass and of the apples,

One needs love to be able to pulse,

One needs peace to be able to smile,

One needs rain to bloom.

I think that living is merely

Understanding the path and going ahead,

Just like an old cowboy taking away his cattle,

I am going to carry on my days on this long road,

I am on the way.

[Refrain:]

Everyone loves one day and everybody cries.

One day we cry, another day we are gone.

Each one of us writes its own story

And each one carries the gift of being capable

and being happy.

[Refrain:]

I walk slowly because I have already been in a hurry and

I bring this happy smile because I have already cried too much.

Each one of us writes its own story,

And each one, in himself, carries the gift of being capable and being happy...
