Original song by Chico Buarque

English Lyrics by Paul Sonnenberg

It was another dull day, but then my love called to me:
"A band is passing this way.
Such lovely music they play!"

People forgot all their pain.
They came to hear and to see.
"A band is passing this way.
Such lovely music they play!"

The banker counting out his profits heard music and came.
The liar counting his advantage heard music and came.
The lover counting all the stars in the heavens
Came down just to see, came down to hear them play.

The sad young girl who never spoke heard the music and smiled.
The sad young rose that never bloomed opened up for a while.
And all the children, they were running wild:
"A band is passing this way. Such lovely music they play!"

It was another dull day, but then my love called to me:
"A band is passing this way. Such lovely music they play!"
People forgot all their pain. They came to hear and to see.
"A band is passing this way. Such lovely music they play!"

The old forgot they were weary and tired and weak.
They left the terrace and were dancing out here in the street.
The lonely woman leaning out of her window
Said, "Every note they play is just for me."

The party spread now to both sides of the avenue.
The moon came out from where it hid and was dancing, too.
The city put on its best dress just to dance:
"A band is passing this way. Such lovely music they play!"

But then the end had to come for all this sweetness and light
The world became as it was before the band came that night
We had been singing of love, now I was singing of pain
After the band had passed by my life was lonely again
