Pais e Filhos [English translation]

Statues and safes and painted walls

No one knows what happened

She threw herself from the fifth story window

Nothing's easy to understand

Sleep now,

It's only the wind outside

I want to be in someone's arms

I'm running away

Can I sleep here tonight, with you guys?

I'm so scared, I had a nightmare

I'm not going back until after 3:00

My child will have the name of a saint

I want the the most beautiful name

You've got to love people

As if there were no tomorrow

Because if you stop to think about it

Really, there isn't

Tell me, why is it the sky is blue?

Explain to me the great rage of this world

It's my children who take care of me

I live with my mother

But my father comes to visit me

I live in the street

I've got no one

I live anywhere

I've already lived in so many homes

I can't even remember them all and still

I live with my parents

You've got to love people

As if there were no tomorrow

Because if you stop to think about it

Really, there isn't

I'm a drop of water

I'm a grain of and

You tell me your parents don't understand

But you don't understand your parents

You blame your parents for everything

And it's absurd

They're children just like you

What are you going to be

when you grow up?
