Estrada da Vida
Edson & Hudson Lyrics

We lived and grew up
We spent our childhood and adolescence together in the same street

On the same street
We shared the same neighborhood and experiences

As if it were
A metaphor for our close relationship

The Sun and the Moon
Two different aspects of life that complement each other

Sharing the same sky
Living under the same influence and atmosphere

I saw her blossom
I witnessed her grow up and become a beautiful young woman

Being desired
Being attractive and tempting

A coveted jewel
Something precious that everyone wants to possess

The most beautiful of trophies
A symbol of success and victory

I was her guardian
I protected her and looked after her

I was her friendly angel
I offered my kindness and support without expecting anything in return

But I didn't know
I was not aware of what she meant to me

That I carried
That I had

A passion for her
A strong and deep love for her

I saw her snuggling
I saw her seeking comfort and love from others

In other arms
In the embrace of someone else

And I went on counting the steps
And I kept track of her moves and actions

Feeling so lonely
Feeling abandoned and unloved

In my body the taste
In my heart the feeling

Of bitter jealousy
Of envy and resentment

When we don't
When we fail to

Admit our feelings
Express our emotions and desires

We end up crying
We end up suffering and feeling unloved

Without love
Without affection and compassion

Time passed
Years went by

And I suffered in silence
And I endured my pain alone

I couldn't get her out of my mind
She was always present in my thoughts and memories

I was going to say
I was planning to tell her

That I was in love
That I had fallen deeply in love with her

I received the invitation
I got the wedding invitation

With golden letters
With elegant and fancy calligraphy

On a beautiful paper
On a fancy and high-quality paper

I cried with emotion
I shed tears of joy and sadness

When I finished reading
When I reached the end of the text

In a corner
In a small space on the back

Written on the verse
Penetrating the paper with her words

She said
She expressed

My love, I confess
My dear, I admit

'I'm getting married
'I'm entering into a marriage commitment

But the great love
But the strongest and most profound emotion

Of my life is you
Is the one I feel for you'

I saw her snuggling
I witnessed her seeking comfort and love from others

In other arms
In the embrace of someone else

And I went on counting the steps
And I kept track of her moves and actions

Feeling so lonely
Feeling abandoned and unloved

In my body the taste
In my heart the feeling

Of bitter jealousy
Of envy and resentment

When we don't
When we fail to

Admit our feelings
Express our emotions and desires

We end up crying
We end up suffering and feeling unloved

Without love
Without affection and compassion

Time passed
Years went by

And I suffered in silence
And I endured my pain alone

I couldn't get her out of my mind
She was always present in my thoughts and memories

I was going to say
I was planning to tell her

That I was in love
That I had fallen deeply in love with her

I received the invitation
I got the wedding invitation

With golden letters
With elegant and fancy calligraphy

On a beautiful paper
On a fancy and high-quality paper

I cried with emotion
I shed tears of joy and sadness

When I finished reading
When I reached the end of the text

In a corner
In a small space on the back

Written on the verse
Penetrating the paper with her words

She said
She expressed

My love, I confess
My dear, I admit

'I'm getting married
'I'm entering into a marriage commitment

But the great love
But the strongest and most profound emotion

Of my life is you
Is the one I feel for you'

'I'm getting married
'I'm entering into a marriage commitment

But the great love
But the strongest and most profound emotion

Of my life is you
Is the one I feel for you'
