English Translation

Ontem de manhã quando acordei

Yesterday morning when I woke up

Olhei a vida e me espantei

I looked at life and was amazed

Eu tenho mais de vinte anos

I'm over twenty years old

E eu tenho mais de mil perguntas sem respostas

And I have over a thousand unanswered questions

Estou ligada num futuro blue

I'm tuned into a blue future


Os meus pais nas minhas costas

My parents behind me

As raízes na marquise

The roots on the marquee

Eu tenho mais de vinte muros

I have over twenty walls

O sangue jorra pelos furos, pelas veias de um jornal

Blood spurts through the holes, through the veins of a newspaper

Eu não te quero, eu te quero mal

I don't want you, I want you bad


Essa calma que inventei, bem sei

This calm that I invented, I know well

Custou as contas que contei

It cost the bills I counted

Eu tenho mais de vinte anos

I'm over twenty years old

E eu quero as cores e os colírios, meus delírios

And I want the colors and the eye drops, my delusions

Estou ligada num futuro blue

I'm tuned into a blue future


Os meus pais nas minhas costas

My parents behind me

As raízes na marquise

The roots on the marquee

Eu tenho mais de vinte muros

I have over twenty walls

O sangue jorra pelos furos, pelas veias de um jornal

Blood spurts through the holes, through the veins of a newspaper

Eu não te quero, eu te quero mal

I don't want you, I want you bad


Ontem de manhã quando acordei

Yesterday morning when I woke up

Olhei a vida e me espantei

I looked at life and was amazed

Eu tenho mais de vinte anos

I'm over twenty years old
