Roda Viva by Chico Buarque de Hollanda

The wheel (Free Translation)

There are days we feel like
who has departed or died
Have we got stiff
or has the world grow larger?

We yearn to speak out
Control our own fate
But there comes the wheel
and sweeps the fate away

Wheel world, wheel giant
Wheel windmill, wheel spintop
Time has wheeled in a flash
around my heart

We keep pushing against the tide
until we can't stand against anymore
Just at the homeward sealing we notice
how much we had left undone

For so long we have grown
the most beautiful rose garden
But there comes the wheel
and sweeps the rose garden away

Wheel world, wheel giant
Wheel windmill, wheel spintop
Time has wheeled in a flash
Around my heart

The mulatto woman's skirt
can't wheel anymore
I Can't play serenades
The samba's jam is over

We take the iniciative,
taking our guitar and singing out in the streets
But there comes the wheel
and sweeps the guitar away

Wheel world, wheel giant
Wheel windmill, wheel spintop
Time has wheeled in a flash
Around my heart

The samba, guitar, rose garden
all burned
A brief illusion,
gone with the early breeze

The nostalgia trapped in our heart
tries hard to stop the time run
But there comes the wheel
and sweeps the nostalgia away

Wheel world, wheel giant
Wheel windmill, wheel spintop
Time has wheeled in a flash
Around my heart
