English Translation

Bocas

Mouths

E verbos saindo das bocas

And verbs coming out of mouths

E bichos saindo das tocas

And animals coming out of burrows

Meninas com bem poucas roupas

Girls with very few clothes

Paradas em esquinas

Stopped on street corners

Ouvindo propostas

Listening to proposals

Com cílios postiços e carteiras falsas

With fake eyelashes and fake IDs

Jogadas ao léo

Thrown around carelessly


Luas

Moons

E becos brotando das ruas

And alleys sprouting from the streets

E veias saltando dos corpos

And veins jumping from bodies

Encontros na cidade nua

Encounters in the naked city

Filtros de cigarro e seguros de vida

Cigarette filters and life insurance

Pigarros, escarros e balas perdidas

Coughs, spits, and stray bullets

No cartão postal

In the postcard


Ruínas nos quintais

Ruins in the backyards

Homens nas construções

Men in constructions

Arranha-céus no cais

Skyscrapers at the dock

E sóis nos porões

And suns in the basements


Poros

Pores

E pares que pulam das pontes

And pairs jumping off bridges

E quadros que pedem as cores

And paintings asking for colors

Relógios, cristais e penhores

Clocks, crystals, and pledges

Executivos nos monomotores

Executives in small planes

Jovens cortando seus pulsos por nada

Youth cutting their wrists for nothing

Mas há uma razão

But there is a reason


Mas há uma palavra que serve pra toda desolação

But there is a word that fits all desolation

Mas há aquele silêncio pelo qual todos esperavam

But there is that silence everyone was waiting for


Portas de catedrais

Cathedral doors

Mares de solidões

Seas of solitudes

Sorrisos virginais

Virgin smiles

E verbos saindo das bocas

And verbs coming out of mouths
