Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Filmes by Jorge Vercillo from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
Quando o passado se estende
When the past stretches
É como um filme pra chorar
It's like a movie to make you cry
Chega o presente se esconde pelo ar
The present arrives, hides in the air
Vem de madrugada me levar
Come early in the morning and take me
Quando o futuro se recente
When the future is recent
De uma escolha sem pensar
Of a choice without thinking
Causas e efeitos se refazem num piscar
Causes and effects come together in the blink of an eye
Me flagrei sozinho ao acordar
I found myself alone when I woke up
Queima no horizonte o sol de multicores da televisão
The multicolored television sun burns on the horizon
Todo amor é ponte e nos eleva a outro estágio da razão
All love is a bridge and elevates us to another stage of reason
Faço que o tempo volte rebobinado filmes na escuridão
I make time go back rewound films in the darkness
Quis sair de casa pra viver
I wanted to leave home to live
Hoje vi que a vida era você
Today I saw that life was you
Queima no horizonte o sol de multicores da televisão
The multicolored television sun burns on the horizon
Todo amor é ponte e nos eleva a outro estágio da razão
All love is a bridge and elevates us to another stage of reason
Faço que o tempo volte rebobinado filmes na escuridão
I make time go back rewound films in the darkness
Quis sair de casa pra viver
I wanted to leave home to live
Hoje vi que a vida era você
Today I saw that life was you
