Dedico este video a meu amigo Manuel. Muito obrigado pela tua amizade.
Chico Buarque is a Brazilian legend in his own time. This song, Vai Passar, is like a political anthem which exemplifies his activism through song and carefully crafted lyrics.

  • Dear Adamfulgence,

    LouieGee suggested a few changes that would make the translation more accurate. i agreed with him but said that your translation was great in spite of a few lapses. Incidentally, from his comments and compliments he seems to think so too. Keep up the good work. :)

  • @HaydeeF1 Very nice of you to explain. I really should learn this beautiful language!! Thanks for your comments and this message.

  • Bravo! Parabéns pela iniciativa, é sempre muito bom mostrar as traduções para os estrangeiros que curtem o ritmo brasileiro mas nem sempre entendem o lirismo. Só algumas sugestões:

    Eu trocaria "Lifting penitent stones" (assim dá impressão que as pedras eram penitentes) por "lifting stones like penitents".

    Também colocaria "my god, come to see, take a close look at a singing city"

    E também "until the break of the day" ou "Until dawn".

    Na minha humilde opinião, a tradução fica mais condizente.

  • @LouieGee Thanks for your comments LouieGee. :-))

  • @Adamfulgence You're welcome! ;) I had no idea you couldn't speak portuguese, sorry! ;) Anyway, I was suggesting a few changes in the translation so that the lyrics would be more accurate. If, anyday, you feel like posting another video with such changes, let me know so I can help you. And congratulations for the video... it's great! Both our countries produced some of the greatest talents and rhythms in the last century: Samba, Bossa-nova, Jazz, Blues, Rock n' Roll... gotta love it!

  • @LouieGee Thanks! You just made my day! :-))

see all

  • @HaydeeF1 Hehehe com certeza amigo, excelente! Só dei algumas sugestões que, na minha humilde opinião, a deixariam ainda melhor ;)

  • @HaydeeF1 I wish I understood all the comments between you and "LouieGee"....I assure you that it was a challenge for me to do this video since I do not know Portuguese. I thank you for your compliment and am so pleased that you liked the video. :-))

  • @LouieGee I agree with you Louie. Concordo com voce. Mas a traducao dela ficou otima, mesmo assim.

  • Fantastic video and a great tribute to Chico and to all of us who grew in that time. Muito obrigada!
