O Canto da Razão

Lalaia, lalaia, lalaia lalaia lalaia la
Êh laiala, laiala laiala laia la
Lalaia, lalaia, lalaia lalaia lalaia la
Êh laiala, laiala laiala laia la

How many sleepless nights
I spent awake
Trying to find the way out
But how I fought

The sorrow suffered
Portraits of life
Passion withdrawn however

The mission was tough
The voice of reason
The song that ends the suffering

Listening to the sound of the tantans
Feeling the balangandans
Repiques, pandeiro, cavaco, and viola
The sadness goes away
