Lyrics
Havia dois comboios, duas estações
Uma chegada e uma partida
Havia gente que gostava das coisas da vida
Havia uma garrafa aberta
E uma igreja recolhida
Vozes penetrando a terra adormecida
Éramos seis e mais a força do coração
Nesse fim de tarde com gente de s. joão
Os seis e a celulose, os seis e a poluição
Os seis e o montro do futuro
Quem é que vais espetar o dedo e tapar o furo?
Seis direcções na mesma estrada
Desgastando o asfalto duro
Onde o chão já foi terno e mais seguro
Éramos seis e mais a força do coração
Nesse fim de tarde com gente de s. joão
Lyrics translation
There were two trains, two stations
One arrival and one departure
There were people who liked the things of life
There was an open bottle
And a church gathered
Voices penetrating the sleeping land
We were six and more the strength of the heart
This late afternoon with people of St. John
The six and the cellulose, the six and the pollution
The six and the monster of the future
Who are you gonna stick your finger and plug the hole in?
Six directions on the same road
Wearing hard asphalt
Where the floor was once tender and safer
We were six and more the strength of the heart
This late afternoon with people of St. John
