All Along

Sempre Amado

All Along

Eu estava sentado na varanda nos braços da minha mãeI was sittin' on the back porch in my mama's arms
olhando para o silêncio das estrelasstaring out into the silence of the stars
desejando com força que as coisas chegassemwishing hard for things to come
crescer e ser alguémto grow up and be someone
estar em qualquer lugar menos onde eu estavato be anywhere than where I was

sempre buscando algo que eu nunca poderia teralways reaching out for something I could never have
sempre me sentindo insatisfeito e incompletoalways feeling discontent and incomplete

mas eu fui amadobut I was loved
sempre amadoall along
eu tinha alegria, eu tinha pazI had joy, I had peace
estava aqui comigoit was here with me
sempre amadoall along
sempre amadoall along

nós estávamos cantando Beatles no rádiowe were singing to the beatles on the radio
estávamos dirigindo com as janelas abertaswe were driving with the windows all rolled down
comendo batata frita no carroeating french fries in the car
a grana estava curta e os tempos eram difíceismoney was tight and times were hard
mas eu daria tudo para estar lá agorabut I'd give anything to be there now

eu sempre pensei que a felicidade estava logo ali na esquinai always thought that happiness was just around the bend
e tudo que eu sonhei estava fora de alcanceand everything I dreamed of was just out of reach

mas eu fui amadobut I was loved
sempre amadoall along
eu tinha alegria, eu tinha pazI had joy, I had peace
estava aqui comigoit was here with me
sempre amadoall along
sempre amadoall along
