London London Lyrics in English Caetano Veloso
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song London London by Caetano Veloso from Portuguese to English.
I'm wandering round and round nowhere to go
I'm wandering round and round nowhere to go
I'm lonely in London, London is lovely so
I'm lonely in London, London is lovely so
I cross the streets without fear
I cross the streets without fear
Everybody keeps the way clear
Everybody keeps the way clear
I know, I know no one here to say hello
I know, I know no one here to say hello
I know they keep the way clear
I know they keep the way clear
I am lonely in London without fear
I am lonely in London without fear
I'm wandering round and round here nowhere to go
I'm wandering round and round here nowhere to go
While my eyes
While my eyes
Go looking for flying saucers in the sky
Go looking for flying saucers in the sky
While my eyes
While my eyes
Go looking for flying saucers in the sky
Go looking for flying saucers in the sky
Oh Sunday, Monday, autumn pass by me
Oh Sunday, Monday, autumn pass by me
And people hurry on so peacefully
And people hurry on so peacefully
A group approaches a policeman
A group approaches a policeman
He seems so pleased to please them
He seems so pleased to please them
It's good at least to live and I agree
It's good at least to live and I agree
He seems so pleased at least
He seems so pleased at least
And it's so good to live in peace and
And it's so good to live in peace and
Sunday, Monday, years and I agree
Sunday, Monday, years and I agree
While my eyes
While my eyes
Go looking for flying saucers in the sky
Go looking for flying saucers in the sky
While my eyes
While my eyes
Go looking for flying saucers in the sky
Go looking for flying saucers in the sky
I choose no face to look at
I choose no face to look at
Choose no way
Choose no way
I just happen to be here
I just happen to be here
And it's okay
And it's okay
Green grass, blue eyes, gray sky, God bless
Green grass, blue eyes, gray sky, God bless
Silent pain and happiness
Silent pain and happiness
I came around to say yes, and I say
I came around to say yes, and I say
Green grass, blue eyes, gray sky, God bless
Green grass, blue eyes, gray sky, God bless
Silent pain and happiness
Silent pain and happiness
I came around to say yes, and I say
I came around to say yes, and I say
But my eyes
But my eyes
Go looking for flying saucers in the sky
Go looking for flying saucers in the sky
Yes my eyes
Yes my eyes
Go looking for flying saucers in the sky
Go looking for flying saucers in the sky
While my eyes
While my eyes
Go looking for flying saucers in the sky
Go looking for flying saucers in the sky
Oh my eyes
Oh my eyes
Go looking for flying saucers in the sky
Go looking for flying saucers in the sky

saucers — flying saucers
Saucers in this context refers to "flying saucers" (discos voadores in Portuguese). It's an unexpected and intriguing word choice in a song about London.
Caetano Veloso, a Brazilian artist, uses this image to convey a sense of detachment and observation, as if he's looking for something extraordinary or out of place in the mundane urban landscape. This unique imagery makes the word memorable and thought-provoking.
