O TEMPO ANDA ESQUECIDO

Time is been forgotten

ESQUECEU-SE DE MIM

Looks like forget me,

DE TU E DE OUTRO .

You and another one.

O TEMPO VIROU A ESQUINA

Time, just turned the corner

E ME DEIXOU SOZINHO

Left me alone

VENDO TANTO SUMIR.

Seeing so much disappear.

O TEMPO VIROU MITO

Time turned to a myth

EU QUE FUI TÃO LOUCO

I was so wild,

E TÃO ESPERTO, FALI.

So smart and became a loser.

TEMPO,

TEMPO,

Time,

Time,

A RUA LÁ EMBAIXO

The street over there

E EU AQUI.

And I am here.

A RUA CHEIO DE DISPERDÍCIOS,

The street full of waste,

TANTOS QUE NEM SEI

As much that I don’t know

COM QUAL DELES

With which of them

CHEGUEI ATÉ AQUI.

I came until here.
