Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nostalgia by Caetano Veloso from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
You sing about waking up in the morning
You sing about waking up in the morning
But you're never up before noon
But you're never up before noon
You look completely different from those straights
You look completely different from those straights
Who walked around on the moon
Who walked around on the moon
The clothes you wear
The clothes you wear
Would suit an old times balloon
Would suit an old times balloon
You're always nowhere
You're always nowhere
But you'll realize pretty soon
But you'll realize pretty soon
That all that you care
That all that you care
Isn't worth a twelve bar tune
Isn't worth a twelve bar tune
You believe you're just one more flower
You believe you're just one more flower
Among so many flowers that sprout
Among so many flowers that sprout
You just feel faintly proud when you hear they shout very loud
You just feel faintly proud when you hear they shout very loud
'you're not allowed in here, get out!'
'you're not allowed in here, get out!'
That's what rock'n'roll is all about
That's what rock'n'roll is all about
That's what rock'n'roll is all about
That's what rock'n'roll is all about
I mean, that's what rock'n'roll was all about
I mean, that's what rock'n'roll was all about
