Lyrics
Eu quis cantar
Minha cancao iluminada de sol
Soltei os panos sobre os mastros no ar Soltei os tigres e leoes nos quintais
Mas as pessoas da sala de jantar
Sao ocupadas em nascer e morrer
Mandei fazer
De puro aco luminoso punhal
Para matar o meu amor e matei
As 5 horas na Avenida Central
Mas as pessoas da sala de jantar
Sao ocupadas em nascer e morrer
Mandei plantar
Folhas de sonho no jardim do solar
As folhas sabem procurar pelo sol
E as raizes, procurar, procurar
Mas as pessoas da sala de jantar
Essas pessoas da sala de jantar
Sao as pessoas da sala de jantar
Essas pessoas da sala de jantar
Sao ocupadas em nascer e morrer
Lyrics translation
I wanted to sing
My sunlit cancao
I dropped the cloths on the masts in the air I released the Tigers and Lions in the backyards
But the people of the dining room
They're busy being born and dying
I had it done
Pure aco luminous dagger
To kill my love and I killed
The 5 o'clock on Central Avenue
But the people of the dining room
They're busy being born and dying
I had it planted.
Dream leaves in the solar garden
Leaves know how to search for the sun
And the roots, search, search
But the people of the dining room
These people from the dining room
Are the people of the dining room
These people from the dining room
They're busy being born and dying
