Full lyrics

Dez da manhã esse dia

é um bonde que me guia, sobre curvas e perigos

na lembrança dos amigos

Sobe o morro da alegria, desce a ladeira do medo

viaja ao meio-dia, força crua de um segredo

Esse dia posto ao meio, fio limite de uns olhos

Que me olham passageiros pelas ruas da cidade

Leio as cartas dos leitores nos jornais, a madrugada

Viaja pra muito longe nesse meio-dia a dia

Nesse bonde lembro e esqueço

Tão passageiro é o dia

Translation

Ten in the morning, this day

Is a streetcar that guides me, over curves and dangers

In the memory of friends

It climbs the hill of joy, descends the slope of fear

Travels at midday, raw strength of a secret

This day placed in the middle, the limit wire of some eyes

That look at me as a passerby through the streets of the city

I read the letters from the readers in the newspapers, the early morning

It travels very far in this midday to day

On this streetcar I remember and forget

So fleeting is the day
