Nos Bailes da Vida - Milton Nascimento, Rita Lee, Roberto De Carvalho

Foi nos bailes da vida

Ou num bar em troca de pão

Que muita gente boa pôs o pé na profissão

De tocar um instrumento e de cantar

Não importando se quem pagou quis ouvir

Foi assim

Cantar era buscar o caminho que vai dar no Sol

Tenho comigo as lembranças do que eu era

Para cantar, nada era longe, tudo tão bom

Té a estrada de terra na boléia de caminhão

Era assim

Com a roupa encharcada

A alma repleta de chão

Todo artista tem de ir aonde o povo está

Se foi assim, assim será

Cantando me desfaço e não me canso de viver

Nem de cantar

It was at the dances of life

Or in a bar in exchange for bread

That many good people set foot in the profession

To play an instrument and to sing

It doesn't matter if who paid wanted to hear

It was so

Singing was looking for the way that leads to the Sun

I have with me the memories of what I was

To sing, nothing was far, everything was so good

You have the dirt road on the truck ride

It was like this

With clothes soaked

The soul full of floor

Every artist has to go where the people are

If so, so it will be

Singing I get rid of it and I don't get tired of living

Not to sing
