Lyrics
A Noite
Antes Que Seja Tarde
(I. Lins — V. Martins)
Com força e com vontade, a felicidade
Há de se espalhar com toda a intensidade
Há de molhar o seco, de enxugar os olhos
De iluminar os becos antes que seja tarde
Há de assaltar os bares, de retomar as ruas
De visitar os lares antes que seja tarde
Há de rasgar as trevas e abençoar o dia
E de guardar as pedras antes que seja tarde
Com força e com vontade, a felicidade
Há de se espalhar com toda a intensidade
Há de deixar sementes do mais bendito fruto
Na terra e no ventre antes que seja tarde
Há de fazer alarme e libertar os sonhos
Da nossa mocidade antes que seja tarde
Há de mudar os homens antes que a chama apague
Antes que a fé se acabe, antes que seja tarde
Com força e com vontade, a felicidade
Há de se espalhar com toda a intensidade
André Velloso — Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Lyrics translation
night
Before It's Too Late
(I. Lins-V. Martins)
With strength and will, Happiness
It will spread with all the intensity
It will wet the dry, wipe the eyes
To light up the alleys before it's late
You have to rob the bars, you have to take back the streets.
To visit homes before it's too late
He will tear the darkness and bless the day
And keep the stones before it's too late
With strength and will, Happiness
It will spread with all the intensity
It must leave seeds of the most blessed fruit
On Earth and in the womb before it's too late
You have to make alarm and release dreams
Of our youth before it's too late
You must change men before the flame extinguishes
Before Faith is over, before it's too late
With strength and will, Happiness
It will spread with all the intensity
André Velloso-Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
