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
