It's a long way


Woke up this morning
Singing an old, old Beatles song
We're not that strong, my lord
You know we ain't that strong
I hear my voice among others
In the break of day
Hey, brothers
Say, brothers
It's a long long long long way

Os olhos da cobra verde
Hoje foi que arreparei
Se arreparasse a mais tempo
Não amava quem amei

Arrenego de quem diz
Que o nosso amor se acabou
Ele agora está mais firme
Do que quando começou

It's a long road

A água com areia brinca na beira do mar
A água passa e a areia fica no lugar

E se não tivesse o amor
E se não tivesse essa dor
E se não tivesse sofrer
E se não tivesse chorar
E se não tivesse o amor

No Abaeté tem uma lagoa escura
Arrodeada de areia branca

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics IT'S A LONG WAY of CAETANO VELOSO is also present in the album Transa (1972)

Biografia

Caetano Emanuel Viana Telles Veloso (Salvador, April 7, 1942) is one of the most influential singer-songwriters in Brazil. Born into a bourgeois family, he developed a passion for music at a young age, embracing bossa nova and rock. In the 1960s, in Rio de Janeiro, he became part of the Tropicália movement, a cultural explosion that blended traditional Brazilian elements with international influences such as pop, psychedelic, and jazz. Caetano Veloso is known for his innovative melodies, poetic lyrics, and distinctive voice. A key figure in the Tropicália movement, he collaborated with artists like Gilberto Gil, Tom Zé, and Gal Costa. In 1968, following military censorship in Brazil, he was exiled to London. After returning home, he continued to produce highly successful music, exploring new genres such as world music and electronic. Among his most famous songs are "Alegria, Alegria", "Sozinho", "Sampa", and "O Leãozinho". Caetano Veloso is considered a Brazilian cultural icon, whose impact on the music and society of his country remains profound.
