Outra Canção do Exílio [English translation]

I'm still the same and it's like it was in the beginning

Near the start, far from the rally

A rebellious intern in the rebellion

Crazy and dangerous behind the grin

Not afraid of pleasure or the damage

Revolutionary in my heart

I've lived in a house and in an apartment

But I have wings and fly with the wind

There's so much life in imagination

As I imagine, I invent the future

In a blink of light that is a mother, but not that dark1

And puts the walls of atrocious loneliness down

I've got my addictions, I've got my hobbies

I don't pray to God or to Steve Jobs

Because I need it to fit my hands

I dream as usual, since I don't need it

But not like I did before, when paradise

Was a desire, my ambition

If I'm alive, I live under the shadow of danger

What was new, now is old

What is modern, soon will be in vain

Only tears and smiles are eternal

Let's go out to see the sun, I need it

It's on the sky that I step, give me your hand

You say that there's no better world

That life is all about this, and this alone

As truths become dust

See the flowers blossoming around us

God, don't allow me to die

Without me coming back

Close to the boy I was

And that the old flame of love and the song

Doesn't go missing

That blood, air and joy don't lack

So I can always see a new daylight

For as many days my heart can bear it

You say that there's no better world

That life is all about this, and this alone

As truths become dust

See the flowers blossoming around us

You say that there's no better world

That life is all about this, and this alone

As truths become dust

See the flowers blossoming around us
