Das Bocas Lyrics Translation in English
Vinicius CalderoniPortuguese Lyrics
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
