Do What You Can

Jon Bon Jovi

Lyrics Translation

Tonight they're shutting down the borders
And they boarded up the schools
Small towns are rolling up their sidewalks
One last paycheck coming through
I know you're feeling kind of nervous
We're all a little bit confused
Nothing's the same, this ain't a game
We gotta make it through

As we wave outside the window
Older loved ones stay inside
Moms and babies blowing kisses
May be saving someone's life
They had to cancel graduation
It ain't fair to Skype the prom
Our kids sit home in isolation
TV news is always on

When you can't do what you do
You do what you can
This ain't my prayer, it's just a thought
I'm wanting to send
'Round here, we bend but don't break
Down here, we all understand
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can

The chicken farm from Arkansas
Bought workers PPE
Not before 500 more
Had succumbed to this disease
Honest men and honest women
Working for an honest wage
I got a hundred point one fever
And we still got bills to pay

When you can't do what you do
You do what you can
This ain't my prayer, it's just a thought
I'm wanting to send
'Round here, we bend but don't break
Down here, we all understand
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can

They built a hospital on East Meadow
In Central Park last night
Doctors, nurses, truckers, grocery store
Clerks manning the front lines
I saw a Red Cross on the Hudson
They turned off the Broadway lights
Another ambulance screams by (screams by)
If by the grace of God, go I

Although I'll keep my social distance
What this world needs is a hug
Until we find the vaccination
There's no substitute for love
So love yourself and love your family
Love your neighbor and your friend
Ain't it time we loved the stranger
They're just a friend you ain't met yet
Oh

When you can't do what you do
You do what you can (do what you can)
This ain't my prayer, it's just a thought
I'm wanting to send
'Round here, we bend but don't break
Down here, we all understand
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can
When you can't do what you do
You do what you can

Tonight they're shutting down the borders
Hoje à noite eles estão fechando as fronteiras
And they boarded up the schools
E eles fecharam as escolas
Small towns are rolling up their sidewalks
Pequenas cidades estão enrolando suas calçadas
One last paycheck coming through
Um último pagamento chegando
I know you're feeling kind of nervous
Eu sei que você está se sentindo meio nervoso
We're all a little bit confused
Todos nós estamos um pouco confusos
Nothing's the same, this ain't a game
Nada é o mesmo, isso não é um jogo
We gotta make it through
Temos que passar por isso
As we wave outside the window
Enquanto acenamos fora da janela
Older loved ones stay inside
Entes queridos mais velhos ficam dentro
Moms and babies blowing kisses
Mães e bebês mandando beijos
May be saving someone's life
Pode estar salvando a vida de alguém
They had to cancel graduation
Eles tiveram que cancelar a formatura
It ain't fair to Skype the prom
Não é justo fazer o baile pelo Skype
Our kids sit home in isolation
Nossos filhos ficam em casa em isolamento
TV news is always on
A notícia da TV está sempre ligada
When you can't do what you do
Quando você não pode fazer o que faz
You do what you can
Você faz o que pode
This ain't my prayer, it's just a thought
Essa não é minha oração, é apenas um pensamento
I'm wanting to send
Eu quero enviar
'Round here, we bend but don't break
Por aqui, nós nos curvamos, mas não quebramos
Down here, we all understand
Aqui embaixo, todos nós entendemos
When you can't do what you do
Quando você não pode fazer o que faz
You do what you can
Você faz o que pode
The chicken farm from Arkansas
A fazenda de frangos do Arkansas
Bought workers PPE
Comprou EPI para os trabalhadores
Not before 500 more
Não antes de mais 500
Had succumbed to this disease
Terem sucumbido a esta doença
Honest men and honest women
Homens honestos e mulheres honestas
Working for an honest wage
Trabalhando por um salário honesto
I got a hundred point one fever
Eu tenho uma febre de 100,1
And we still got bills to pay
E ainda temos contas para pagar
When you can't do what you do
Quando você não pode fazer o que faz
You do what you can
Você faz o que pode
This ain't my prayer, it's just a thought
Essa não é minha oração, é apenas um pensamento
I'm wanting to send
Eu quero enviar

They built a hospital on East Meadow

In Central Park last night
