Outros Tempos

What a beautiful night
I was walking down the hill
The whole city
Was a sea of joy
People in the square
Partying, singing
The stars shining
Reminded me of your gaze
It felt like carnivals
From other times
Pierrots and Colombines
Were flirting in the moonlight
Verses recited
With love
And feeling
By a cirandeiro passing by
So much happiness awoke
That life made sense once more
When the streetlight came back on
The city grew sad once again
