Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Foi, quem sabe, esse disco

It was, perhaps, this record

Esse risco de sombra em teus cílios

This risk of shadow on your eyelashes

Foi ou não meu poema no chão

Was it or was it not my poem on the floor

Ou talvez nossos filhos

Or perhaps our children


As sandálias de saltos tão altos

The sandals with such high heels

O relógio batendo, o sol posto

The clock ticking, the sun setting

O relógio, as sandálias

The clock, the sandals

E eu batendo em teu rosto

And me hitting your face


E a queda dos saltos tão altos

And the fall of such high heels

Sobre os nossos filhos

On our children

Com um raio de sangue no chão

With a ray of blood on the floor

Do risco em teus cílios

From the risk in your eyelashes


Foram discos demais, desculpas demais

There were too many records, too many excuses

Já vão tarde essas tardes e mais tuas aulas

These afternoons are already gone, and your classes

Meus táxis, whisky, Dietil, Diempax

My taxis, whiskey, Dietil, Diempax


Ah, mas há que se louvar

Ah, but one must praise

Entre altos e baixos

Between highs and lows

O amor quando traz tanta vida

Love when it brings so much life

Que até pra morrer leva tempo demais!

That even to die takes too long!

Que até pra morrer leva tempo demais!

That even to die takes too long!
