Translation of Ladeira da Vida from Portuguese to English
He didn't want to know my name and said he loved me
And she ended everything with that smile
The tense thing is that I don't even remember last night
But every dawn I remember this
Brunette, you're beautiful and I want to see you again
We are like fire and it won't go out
Warm me up so much that my soul sweats
Being away from you like this is not for me
The needle tip went in when my mother cried
And I saw that I was wrong on the right path
Today her son sings everything he feels
I turned the page of life and I'm not a kid anymore
The boy grew up and today he is what he wanted
I saw many messing up, snubbing their noses
Weak love and toothache I pull out at the root
Am I living to see what I've done?
I went to find myself and got lost again
This world is an egg, I can't slack off
Sometimes I wonder what my goal is
I find the answer only in your gaze
My father told me to be careful
The frame is easier for those from the ghetto
I took it silently when I was nobody
And life caught me and there was no way out
After so much struggle and going through a lot of poison
I've never seen anyone work without paying the government
If it weren't for my strength I wouldn't be here
Days and nights in the wagon to see my mother smile
Climbing the hill I heard my mother saying
Son, beware of illusions
Don't count the plans you haven't finished yet
Eyes are a source of life, but also disappointment
Envy kills, beware of the heart
Wash your feet before stepping on the ground
Heading north, bringing support
Containment for those who still have to be strong
Inspiration for those who are trying to climb
Giving a hand to those who don't let themselves fall
My flag is Brazilian, I never give up
But if it were up to them, I would never be
My color is the color of people, that you didn't want
To see at the top and meritocracy doesn't help
My eyes opened in this chaos (in this chaos)
And my body is closed to all evil (to all evil)
Keep faith in what you don't see (in what you don't see)
Continue the journey, whatever God wants (whatever God wants)
From father and mother, breathing
Sound source, action of love
From the creator cosmos
And let the light shine within us, among us
To make it more useful
That the gift of doubt
Should not be dispersed
Our self will walk hand in hand with yours as one
Mystical creature
Kings and queens complete within the being
We are shouts of will, connected
We feel the soul of the Earth and the power of the wise
That the illusion of the crazy world out of reach
Free us from everything that slows our side
Evolution and continuous growth
Never forgetting your Glory
Action of men on the ground of your love
Mere mortals changing the course of history
My eyes opened in this chaos (in this chaos)
And my body is closed to all evil (to all evil)
Keep faith in what you don't see (in what you don't see)
Continue the journey, whatever God wants (whatever God wants)
My eyes opened in this chaos (in this chaos)
And my body is closed to all evil (to all evil)
Keep faith in what you don't see (in what you don't see)
Continue the journey, whatever God wants (whatever God wants)
Whatever God wants (whatever God wants)
Whatever God wants
