Portuguese Lyrics

English Translation

Vendado, amordaçado

Blindfolded, gagged

E com nariz de palhaço

And with a clown's nose

O Inanimado á frente

The inanimate in front

Do palco da vida

Of the stage of life


Eis que o velhaco

Behold the rogue

De riso sarcástico

With sarcastic laughter

Aos bofetões o reanima

Revives him with slaps


O faz andar por um caminho torto

Makes him walk a crooked path

De o nó ficar frouxo

The knot stays loose

É um tombo atras do outro

It's one fall after another


Arfando com a lingua para fora

Panting with the tongue hanging out

Com coleira no pescoço

With a collar around the neck

O mais tolos dos tolos

The most foolish of fools

Aceita tudo o que é imposto

Accepts everything imposed


Abandonado a si mesmo

Abandoned to himself

Não percebe a sua luz.

Doesn't perceive his light

Preso a mão oculta que conduz

Caught by the hidden hand that leads


E morre como se nunca tivesse vivido

And dies as if he had never lived

Cada vez mais a um boneco de ventríloquo

More and more like a ventriloquist's puppet
