The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "It's A Long Way" by Caetano Veloso.

Lyrics

Woke up this morning
Singing an old, old Beatles song
We’re not that strong, My Lord
You know we ain’t that strong
I hear my voice among others
In the break of day
Hey, brothers
Say, brothers
It’s a long, long, long, long way
Os olhos da cobra verde
Hoje foi que arreparei
Se arreparasse a mais tempo
Não amava quem amei
Arrenego de quem diz
Que o nosso amor se acabou
Ele agora estámais firme
Do que quando começou
A água com areia brinca na beira do mar
A água passa e a areia fica no lugar
E se não tivesse o amor
E se não tivesse essa dor
E se não tivesse sofrer
E se não tivesse chorar
E se não tivesse o amor
No Abaeté tem uma lagoa escura
Arrodeada de areia branca

Lyrics translation

Woke up this morning
Singing an old, old Beatles song
We're not that strong, My Lord
You know we ain't that strong
I hear my voice among others
In the break of day
Hey, brothers
Say, brothers
It's a long, long, long, long way
The eyes of the green snake
Today was that I regret
If I would stop for a longer time
Did not love who I loved
Arenego of those who say
That our love is over
He is now firmer
Than when it started
Water with Sand plays on the seashore
Water passes and sand stays in place
What if I didn't have the love
What if I didn't have this pain
What if I didn't suffer
What if I didn't cry
What if I didn't have the love
In the Abaeté has a dark pond
Knelt of white sand
