Five Years Lyrics

Lyric discussion by lightoftheworld 

Cover art for Five Years lyrics by Seu Jorge

I don't know Portuguese, but i expect the lyrics are loosely the same as the David Bowie version-- where the news has just arrived that the world is going to end in five years, and as everyone is reacting in chaos and mayhem, he notices one girl sitting in an restaurant window just chilling and sipping a milkshake. If these lyrics do follow that storyline, I would have to say i like this version more, as it has that same message about finding that one person who is the realest out there, who lives life day by day. What makes it better than the Bowie version is that no one i know speaks Portuguese, so it is like a secret.
