Já esqueceste de como era
quando
éramos de primeira categoria
e
o dia vinha gordo com uma maçã na boca
é inútil preocuparmo-nos com o Tempo
mas
nós tínhamos alguns truques na manga
e
contornávamos esquinas bem acentuadas
o
prado por inteiro era como nosso manjar
não precisávamos de velocímetros
inventávamos cocktails a partir de neve e água
não
quereria ser mais veloz
nem
mais verde do que sou agora se estivesses comigo, Ó tu
que foste
o melhor de todos os meus dias
Animals
Have you forgotten what we were like then
when we were still first rate
and the day came fat with an apple in its mouth
it's no use worrying about Time
but we did have a few tricks up our sleeves
and turned some sharp corners
the whole pasture looked like our meal
we didn't need speedometers
we could manage cocktails out of ice and water
I wouldn't want to be faster
or greener than now if you were with me O you
were the best of all my days
when we were still first rate
and the day came fat with an apple in its mouth
it's no use worrying about Time
but we did have a few tricks up our sleeves
and turned some sharp corners
the whole pasture looked like our meal
we didn't need speedometers
we could manage cocktails out of ice and water
I wouldn't want to be faster
or greener than now if you were with me O you
were the best of all my days
