“Tempos modernos” (“Modern times”)
I see a better life in the future
I see that from the top of a wall
Of hypocrisy that insists on surrounding me
I see a clearer and fuller life
Filled with every pleasure
That we have a right to from the firmament to the ground
I want to believe in a love that’s all good
That’s valid for every person
Who makes the effort, who has passion
I see a new era beginning
De gente fina, elegante e sincera
Who are able to say yes more than no
Today time flies, love
It runs through our hands
Even without feeling it
There’s no time that comes back, love
Let’s live everything there is to live
Let’s allow ourselves
