Filhos da noite, vida sem rumo 00:11
A lua abraça a minha indecisão 00:14

Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language through music is a fantastic journey, and Jão's “A Rua” is a perfect starting point for diving into Brazilian Portuguese. The song's lyrics are repetitive and poetic, making it easier to pick up new vocabulary and phrases related to feelings of freedom, youth, and the urban landscape. What makes this song special is its powerful and positive reinterpretation of the street as a place of safety and community, offering a unique cultural insight wrapped in an infectious and energetic pop sound.

[English]
Children of the night, aimless life
The moon embraces my indecision
The scent in the air and this smile
Indicate: we escaped from prison
The light that falls during the day
Doesn't reveal us, no
But the tides are rising
It's night, it smells like fascination
Mom, don't worry
It will always work out
What this night holds
We're going to pay to see
There's danger around here
But I know very well how to run
If I get lost
The street will protect me
...
The street will protect me
Children of the night, aimless life
The moon embraces my indecision
The scent in the air and this smile
Indicate: we escaped from prison
The light that falls during the day
Doesn't reveal us, no
But the tides are rising
It's a full night in the backlands
Mom, don't worry
It will always work out
What this night holds
We're going to pay to see
There's danger around here
But I know very well how to run
If I get lost
The street will protect me
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
The street will protect me
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
The street will protect me
Mom, you can stay unworried
Your son is protected here
Mom, you can stay unworried
Because the street will
The street will protect me
