The Sun Was Bright

O Sol Estava Brilhando (Cynthia Gayneau/Thierry Magnière)The Sun Was Bright (Cynthia Gayneau/Thierry Magnière)

Ontem o sol estava brilhandoYesterday the sun was bright
Fizemos amor a noite inteiraWe made love through the night
Acreditamos no direitoWe believed in the right
De inventar nossa própria vidaTo invent our own life
Quando éramos jovensWhen we were young

Mas éramos tão ingênuos que perdemos issoBut we were so naive that we lost it
Nunca vimos a escrita na paredeNever saw the writing on the wall

Nosso ouro estava no solOur gold was in the sun
Nosso novo mundo tinha acabado de começarOur new world had just begun
Paz e liberdade foram conquistadasPeace and freedom were won
E nosso amor sempre seriaAnd our love would always be
Para sempre jovemForever young

Não sei pra onde foiI don't know where it went
Todos os nossos recursos se esgotaramAll our resources spent
Corporações determinadasCorporations intent
A drenar o que sobrouOn draining what is left
De nossos jovensFrom our young

Quero que meus filhos cresçamI want my children to grow
Para serem atentos e saberemTo be watchful and know
Que cada semente que plantaremThat each seed they will sow
Deve ser cuidada com carinhoMust be tended with care
Enquanto ainda são jovensWhile they are young
