Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tempos Modernos by Marisa Monte from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Melhor no futuro
Better in the future
Por cima de um muro
Over a wall
De hipocrisia
Of hypocrisy
Em nos rodear
In surrounding us
Mais farta e clara
More abundant and clear
Repleta de toda
Full of all
Que se tem direito
That you have the right
Do firmamento ao chão
From the firmament to the ground
Eu quero crer
I want to believe
No amor numa boa
In love in a good way
Que isso valha
May this be worth
Pra qualquer pessoa
For anyone
Que realizar, a força
What to accomplish, the strength
Que tem uma paixão
Who has a passion
Eu vejo um novo
I see a new
Começo de era
Beginning of era
De gente fina
Of fine people
Elegante e sincera
Elegant and sincere
Pra dizer mais sim
To say yes more
Hoje o tempo voa amor
Today time flies love
Escorre pelas mãos
Runs through your hands
Mesmo sem se sentir
Even without feeling
Não há tempo
There is no time
Que volte amor
Let love come back
Vamos viver tudo
Let's live it all
Que há pra viver
What is there to live
Vamos nos permitir
Lets permit ourselves
Eu quero crer
I want to believe
No amor numa boa
In love in a good way
Que isso valha
May this be worth
Pra qualquer pessoa
For anyone
Que tem uma paixão
Who has a passion
Eu vejo um novo
I see a new
Começo de era
Beginning of era
De gente fina
Of fine people
Elegante e sincera
Elegant and sincere
Pra dizer mais sim
To say yes more
Hoje o tempo voa amor
Today time flies love
Escorre pelas mãos
Runs through your hands
Mesmo sem se sentir
Even without feeling
E não há tempo
And there is no time
Que volte amor
Let love come back
Vamos viver tudo
Let's live it all
Que há pra viver
What is there to live
Vamos nos permitir
Lets permit ourselves
E não há tempo
And there is no time
Que volte amor
Let love come back
Vamos viver tudo
Let's live it all
Que há pra viver
What is there to live
Vamos nos permitir
Lets permit ourselves
