Just like our parents

I don't want to tell you, my dear love,
the things I picked up from vinyl records
I want to tell you the way I've been spending my life and all the things that have happened to me
 
To live is better than to dream
And I know that love is something good
But I also know that any singing is second1 to anyone's life
 
For that, watch out baby, there's danger around the corner
They won and the traffic light is red to us, those who are young
To hug your brother and kiss your girl on the street
Your arm, your lips and your voice were meant
 
You ask me about my passions
I answer I'm enchanted just like some new invention
I will remain in this city, I won't go back to the sertão2
Since I can notice in the wind the smell of the new season
I know everything full well through the raw wound in my heart
 
Too long ago I saw you on the street, windswept hair, young people together
On the walls of memory this is the most hurtful picture to remember
It breaks my heart3 to realize that even though we've done everything we've done
We are still just the same and we still live
Just like our parents
 
Our cultural icons4 are still the same and the appearances aren't able to fool anybody, no
You say that after them nobody else came along.
You might even say that I'm out of the loop or that I'm making it up
Yet you're the one who loves the past and is unable to see
You're the one who loves the past and is unable to see
That that which is new is ever coming.
 
I now realize that whoever ignited me with the thoughts on newer consciousness and youth
Is at home in the hands of God, keeping track of the evil metal
It breaks my heart to realize that even though we've done everything we've done
We are still just the same and we're still living
Still the same and still living
Just like our parents.
