A Banda
Chico Buarque
A Banda
Lyrics: OriginalEstava à toa na vida
O meu amor me chamou
Pra ver a banda passar
Cantando coisas de amor
A minha gente sofrida
Despediu-se da dor
Pra ver a banda passar
Cantando coisas de amor
O homem sério que contava dinheiro parou
O faroleiro que contava vantagem parou
A namorada que contava as estrelas
Parou para ver, ouvir e dar passagem
A moça triste que vivia calada sorriu
A rosa triste que vivia fechada se abriu
E a meninada toda se assanhou
Pra ver a banda passar
Cantando coisas de amor
Estava à toa na vida
O meu amor me chamou
Pra ver a banda passar
Cantando coisas de amor
A minha gente sofrida
Despediu-se da dor
Pra ver a banda passar
Cantando coisas de amor
O velho fraco se esqueceu do cansaço e pensou
Que ainda era moço pra sair no terraço e dançou
A moça feia debruçou na janela
Pensando que a banda tocava pra ela
A marcha alegre se espalhou na avenida e insistiu
A Lua cheia que vivia escondida surgiu
Minha cidade toda se enfeitou
Pra ver a banda passar cantando coisas de amor
Mas para meu desencanto
O que era doce acabou
Tudo tomou seu lugar
Depois que a banda passou
E cada qual no seu canto
Em cada canto uma dor
Depois da banda passar
Cantando coisas de amor
Depois da banda passar
Cantando coisas de amor
I was aimless in life
My love called me
To see the band pass
Singing love songs
My suffering people
Said goodbye to the pain
To see the band pass
Singing love songs
The serious man that was counting money stoped
The boasting lighthouse keeper stopped
The girlfriend counting the stars
Stoped to see, to listen, and open the way
The sad girl that was always quiet smiled
The sad rose that used to be closed has opened
And all the girl freaked out
To see the band pass
Singing love songs
I was aimless in life
My love called me
To see the band pass
Singing love songs
My suffering people
Said goodbye to the pain
To see the band pass
Singing love songs
The weak old man forgot his tiredness and thought
That he was still young to go on the terrace and danced
The ugly girl leaned out the window
Thinking the band was playing for her
The happy march spread out on the avenue and insisted
The full Moon that lived hidden appeared
My whole city was decorated
To see the band pass singing love songs
But to my dismay
What was sweet is over
Everything took its place
After the band passed
And each one in it's corner
In every corner a pain
After the band passes
Singing love songs
After the band passes
Singing love songs
