Hungry Years

Anos de Fome

Hungry Years

Eles vieram pelo norte
They came down from the north
Para o arado, eles foram forjados
To the plough they were forged
Nos vestígios de um homem que esteve antes
On the traces of a man who'd been before
A partir da rua
Right up from the street
Vieram as fileiras de desempregados
Came the ranks of unemployed
Então tudo se tornou os anos de fome
Then everything became the hungry years

Eles procuraram os anos de fome
They searched the hungry years
Pelos triunfos, pelos medos
For the triumphs by the fears
Há uma chance que eles tiveram
There's a chance they had to take
Eles estiveram esperando por um intervalo
They were waiting for a break
Eles procuraram os anos de fome
They searched the hungry years
Pelos triunfos, pelos medos
For the triumphs by the fears
Alguns chegam às estrelas
Some make it to the stars
Tocando guitarras de rock and roll
Playing rock and roll guitars
Tocando guitarras de rock and roll
Playing rock and roll guitars

Eles leem sob as luzes
They read under the lights
Para os judeus e para os brancos
To the jews and to the whites
Os sistemas vão mudar e os entende-los
The systems gonna change and understand them
O mundo dos negócios é profundo
The business world is deep
Por uma porcentagem do calor
For a percentage of the heat
Mágica havia nos olhos
There was magic in the eyes
Eles não podiam ver as mentiras
They couldn't see the lies
Eles observaram lentamente morrer
They watched it slowly die

Eles procuraram os anos de fome
They searched the hungry years
Pelos triunfos, pelos medos
For the triumphs by the fears
Há uma chance que eles tiveram
There's a chance they had to take
Eles estiveram esperando por um intervalo
They were waiting for a break
Eles procuraram os anos de fome
They searched the hungry years
Pelos triunfos, pelos medos
For the triumphs by the fears
Alguns chegam às estrelas
Some make it to the stars
Tocando guitarras de rock and roll
Playing rock and roll guitars
Tocando guitarras de rock and roll
Playing rock and roll guitars

Alguns levam a fama
Some take the fame
E alguns levam a culpa
And some take the blame
Talvez eles irão e talvez eles não irão
Maybe they will and maybe they won't
Esta noite
Tonight

Eles leem sob as luzes
They read under the lights
Para os judeus e para os brancos
To the jews and to the whites
Os sistemas vão mudar e os entende-los
The systems gonna change and understand them
O mundo dos negócios é profundo
The business world is deep
Por uma porcentagem do calor
For a percentage of the heat
Mágica havia nos olhos
There was magic in the eyes
Eles não podiam ver as mentiras
They couldn't see the lies
Eles observaram lentamente morrer
They watched it slowly die

Eles procuraram os anos de fome
They searched the hungry years
Pelos triunfos, pelos medos
For the triumphs by the fears
Há uma chance que eles tiveram
There's a chance they had to take
Eles estiveram esperando por um intervalo
They were waiting for a break
Eles procuraram os anos de fome
They searched the hungry years
Pelos triunfos, pelos medos
For the triumphs by the fears
Alguns chegam às estrelas
Some make it to the stars
Tocando guitarras de rock and roll
Playing rock and roll guitars
Tocando guitarras de rock and roll
Playing rock and roll guitars
