Pais E Filhos Lyrics in English Legião Urbana

Home / Lyrics Translation / Legião Urbana / Pais E Filhos

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pais E Filhos by Legião Urbana from Portuguese to English.

Verse 1

Statues and safes and painted walls

No one knows what happened

She threw herself from the fifth floor window

Nothing is easy to understand

Sleep now

It's just the wind outside

I want comfort! I'm running away from home

Can I sleep here with you?

I'm scared, I had a nightmare

I'll only come back after three

My son will have a saint's name

I want the most beautiful name

It's necessary to love people

As if there were no tomorrow

Because if you stop to think

Actually, there isn't

Verse 2

Tell me, why is the sky blue?

Explain the world's great fury

It's my children who take care of me

I live with my mother

But my father comes to visit me

I live on the street, I have no one

I live anywhere

I've lived in so many houses that I don't even remember anymore

I live with my parents

It's necessary to love people

As if there were no tomorrow

Because if you stop to think

Actually, there isn't

I'm a drop of water

I'm a grain of sand

You say your parents don't understand you

But you don't understand your parents

You blame your parents for everything, that's absurd

They are children like you

What will you be when you grow up?
