Tempo Precioso

Precious Time

Havia muitas árvores verdesThere were many green trees
Havia céu azulThere was blue sky
Crianças e pais amorososkids and lovely parents
Flores na minha menteFlowers in my mind

Muitos motivos pra viverMany reasons to live
Muitas formas de amarMany ways of love
Havia sorrisos e lágrimas nos rostosthere were smiles and tears on faces
Havia vida humanaThere was human life

Crenças e raçasBeliefs and races
Tínhamos escolha, tínhamos liberdadeWe had choice, we had freedom
Notas diferentes em harmoniaDissimilar notes in harmony

Havia beleza e poesiaThere was beauty and poetry
Pássaros azuis voavam altoBlue birds had flied high
Idosos tomavam cháOld people had drunk tea
E cantavam ao redor do fogoAnd had sang around the fire

Eles desperdiçaram esse tempo preciosoThey had wasted this precious time
Não queriam ver os sinaisThey didn't want to see the signs
Nem mesmo pra salvar suas vidasNot even to save their lives

Havia muitos sentimentosThere were many feelings
Tínhamos visto as estrelasWe had seen the stars
Cavalos-marinhos, peixesSea horses, fishes
Sonhos e desejosDreams and desires

Não sei quem você éI don1t know who you are
Se você me ouve agoraIf you hear me now
Tivemos a graça, eles fizeram um infernoWe had the grace, they made a hell
Um lugar perfeito, um tempo preciosoA perfect place, a precious time
A intolerância destruiu meu larThe intolerance destroyed my home
