Pais E Filhos Lyrics in English by Legião Urbana
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pais E Filhos by Legião Urbana from Portuguese to English.
Verse 1
Estátuas e cofres e paredes pintadas
Statues and safes and painted walls
Ninguém sabe o que aconteceu
No one knows what happened
Ela se jogou da janela do quinto andar
She threw herself from the fifth floor window
Nada é fácil de entender
Nothing is easy to understand
Dorme agora
Sleep now
É só o vento lá fora
It's just the wind outside
Quero colo! Vou fugir de casa
I want comfort! I'm running away from home
Posso dormir aqui com vocês?
Can I sleep here with you?
Estou com medo, tive um pesadelo
I'm scared, I had a nightmare
Só vou voltar depois das três
I'll only come back after three
Meu filho vai ter nome de santo
My son will have a saint's name
Quero o nome mais bonito
I want the most beautiful name
É preciso amar as pessoas
It's necessary to love people
Como se não houvesse amanhã
As if there were no tomorrow
Porque se você parar pra pensar
Because if you stop to think
Na verdade não há
Actually, there isn't
Verse 2
Me diz, por que que o céu é azul?
Tell me, why is the sky blue?
Explica a grande fúria do mundo
Explain the world's great fury
São meus filhos que tomam conta de mim
It's my children who take care of me
Eu moro com a minha mãe
I live with my mother
Mas meu pai vem me visitar
But my father comes to visit me
Eu moro na rua, não tenho ninguém
I live on the street, I have no one
Eu moro em qualquer lugar
I live anywhere
Já morei em tanta casa que nem me lembro mais
I've lived in so many houses that I don't even remember anymore
Eu moro com os meus pais
I live with my parents
É preciso amar as pessoas
It's necessary to love people
Como se não houvesse amanhã
As if there were no tomorrow
Porque se você parar pra pensar
Because if you stop to think
Na verdade não há
Actually, there isn't
Sou uma gota d'água
I'm a drop of water
Sou um grão de areia
I'm a grain of sand
Você me diz que seus pais não te entendem
You say your parents don't understand you
Mas você não entende seus pais
But you don't understand your parents
Você culpa seus pais por tudo, isso é absurdo
You blame your parents for everything, that's absurd
São crianças como você
They are children like you
O que você vai ser quando você crescer?
What will you be when you grow up?
