Lyrics
A cidade é moderna
Dizia o cego a seu filho
Os olhos cheios de terra
O bonde fora dos trilhos
A aventura começa
No coração dos navios
Pensava o filho calado
Pensava o filho ouvindo
Que a cidade é moderna
Pensava o filho sorrindo
E era surdo e era mudo
Mas que falava e ouvia
Lyrics translation
The city is modern
He said the blind to his son
Eyes full of Earth
The tram off the rails
The adventure begins
In the heart of ships
I thought the son was silent
Thought the son listening
That the city is modern
Thought the son smiling
And he was deaf and he was dumb
But who spoke and listened
