Woke up this morning
Acordei esta manhã
Singing an old, old Beatles song
Cantando uma antiga, antiga canção dos Beatles
We're not that strong, my lord
Nós não somos tão fortes, meu senhor
You know we ain't that strong
Você sabe que não somos tão fortes
I hear my voice among others
Eu ouço minha voz entre outras
In the break of day
Na quebra do dia
Hey, brothers, say, brothers
Ei, irmãos, diga, irmãos
It's a long, a long, a long, a long
É um longo, um longo, um longo, um longo
A long, a long, a long way
Um longo, um longo, um longo caminho
It's a long way, it's a long
É um longo caminho, é um longo
It's a long, a long, a long
It's a long, a long, a long
It's a long, a lo-long, a lo-long, a long, a long, a long
It's a long, a lo-long, a lo-long, a long, a long, a long
It's a long, a long
It's a long, a long
It's a long, a lo-long, a lo-long, a lo-long, a long
It's a long, a lo-long, a lo-long, a lo-long, a long
A long, a long, it's a long, it's a long way
A long, a long, it's a long, it's a long way
It's a long, a long, a long, it's a a long way
It's a long, a long, a long, it's a long way
It's a long, a long, a long, a long way
It's a long, a long, a long, a long way
It's a long, a lo-long, a lo-long
It's a long, a lo-long, a lo-long
A long, a long, a long, a lo-long, a lo-long
A long, a long, a long, a lo-long, a lo-long
It's a long way, it's a long
It's a long way, it's a long
Ozóio' da cobra verde
The eye of the green snake
Hoje foi que arreparei
Today was when I realized
Se arreparasse há mais tempo
If I had realized earlier
Não amava quem amei
I wouldn't have loved who I loved
It's a long way, it's a long
It's a long way, it's a long
It's a long way
It's a long way
It's a long, a long, a long, a lo-long, a lo-long way
It's a long, a long, a long, a lo-long, a lo-long way
It's a long way, it's a a long way
It's a long way, it's a long way
It's a long, it's a long, long, long
It's a long, it's a long, long, long
It's a long, a lo-long, a lo-long, a lo-long, a lo-long
It's a long, a lo-long, a lo-long, a lo-long, a lo-long
A lo-long, a lo-long, a lo-long, a lo-long, a long, a long way
A lo-long, a lo-long, a lo-long, a lo-long, a long, a long way
It's a long, it's a long way, it's a long
It's a long, it's a long way, it's a long
Arrenego de quem diz
I reject anyone who says
Que o nosso amor se acabou
That our love is over
Ele agora está mais firme
It’s now stronger
Do que quando começou
Than when it first began
Arrenego de quem diz
I reject anyone who says
Que o nosso amor se acabou
That our love is over
Ele agora está mais firme
It’s now stronger
Do que quando começou
Than when it first began
It's a long road, it's a long
It's a long road, it's a long
It's a long road

A água com areia
The water with sand
Brinca na beira do mar
Plays on the edge of the sea
A água passa, a areia fica no lugar
The water passes, the sand stays in place
It's a hard world
It's a hard world
It's a hard world
It's a hard world
It's a hard world
It's a hard world
Hard, love, wind
Hard, love, wind
E se não tivesse o amor
And if there were no love
E se não tivesse essa dor
And if there were no pain
E se não tivesse o sofrer
And if there were no suffering
E se não tivesse o chorar
And if there were no crying
E se não tivesse o amor
And if there were no love
E se não tivesse? E se não tivesse?
And if there were none? And if there were none?
E se não tivesse?
And what if there wasn't?
No Abaeté tem uma lagoa escura
In Abaeté there's a dark lagoon
Arrodeada de areia branca
Surrounded by white sand
No Abaeté tem uma lagoa escura
In Abaeté there's a dark lagoon
Arrodeada de areia branca
