Future Lovers

Don't feel hustled
Because nothing is for now
Love has no hurry
It can wait in silence
Deep within a locker
On general delivery1
Millenia and millennia in the air
 
Maybe, then
Rio will be
Some subaquatic city
Divers will come
To explore your home
Your bedroom, your stuff
Your soul, your upper floor
 
In vain, wise men
Will try to decipher
The echo of words of yore
Fragments of letters, poems
Lies, pictures
Traces of a weird civilization
 
Don't feel hustled
Because nothing is for now
Loves will always be lovely
As for future lovers, who can tell
If they'll love without knowing
With the same love I once
Gave you

Square Sun

Get up because your day has come
Get up because it is the time I want to see
You going back home with all you planted
Get up to see the square sun
 
Get up because your day has come
Get up because it is time for the people to see
You going back home with all you planted
Get up to see the square Sun

That whatever you throw up

Mangueira Landscape

Everybody here will dance.
Everybody here will dance.
Hey, piper, play out.
Hey, piper, play out.
Hey, piper, play out.
Hey, piper, play out.
 
It's nice to see
The dancers in Mangueira1
What is as beautiful as it?
The Mangueira2 landscape
How beautiful is Mangueira1
When it parades
Down the boulevard
A poem, a pleasure
A party to my eyes
Is seeing my dear Mangueira1
The dancer I love lives there
All my childhood dreams were of there
And when the ensemble walk down
They look like flowers
Rolling from the hill
Onto the asphalt
 
Go, go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go dance
Go, go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go dance
Go, go, go, go, go dance

Nurturing My Bitterness

Hey, pal, stretch out your legs
Get the chair and sit down
Put the straw1 behind your ear
As the housekeeper2 goes chopping
 
As the kettle sizzles
I'll go nurturing my bitterness
As the kettle sizzles
(I'll go nurturing my bitterness)
 
It's good that you came
I had to tell you
A gaúcho3 in love
Needs to let off steam
Rosinha went away
With my friend João
 
It's well said that women have wings
On the edge of their hearts
It's well said that women have wings
On the edge of their hearts

Tribute

I'm thankful for these tributes you pay to me
For the sillinesses and beautiful things you say I did
Receiving the gifts is something I'm not brave to do
Send them to those who by right must be happy
 
Take these flowers to her, who must be crying by now
As she couldn't be close to me now
To receive these honors that the other is enjoying
Our clandestine love obliges us to live like this
 
Take these flower
And tell her to keep waiting for me
'Cause as soon as the party ends, I'll go hug my love
 
'Cause, though we are not married
She inspires me and is always by my side
Accompanying me through hard times, through times of pain
 
I'm thankful
Good evening, Porto Alegre, thank you very much!

Mortaes

I not even want to hear about you
I want to go deaf
I want to lose you in the dampness of the corners
Forget about your crazes and die
I'm sure that far from me
You'll never be happy
I forget you every morning
Having some guaraná and listening to Elis1
Well, forget me as well
If you can, if you're able
I don't want more hugs or daggers
I melt and drown regrets
 
I not even want to hear about you
But I see you on TV
I want to lose you in the dampness of the corners
Forget about your crazes and die

You'll never be happy

Having some guaraná and listening to Elis1
Well, forget me as well
If you can, if you're able
I don't want more hugs or daggers
I melt and drown regrets
At Pecados Mortaes2
 
What I want is
To dock my ship at the docks in this Summer
I feel that my heart is tired of bad times
We've been through some rough patches
But I feel that we're attentive
I think that by the end of the year
We'll be single
 
I think that by the end of the year
We'll be single

In The Boondocks Of The World

The theft, the rape, the putrid abduction
The fetid kidnap
The odd noun that ends in S
Where someone makes a bend
The boondocks of the world, where we are
 
The stupid crime, the lone criminal
A noun, common
The bogus fruit shines
Under the inhuman shadow of lynchers

Where someone makes a bend
The boondocks of the world, where we are
 
The stupid crime, the lone criminal
A noun, common
The bogus fruit shines
Under the inhuman shadow of lynchers
 
The saddest nation
In the most rotten time
Is made of potential
Groups of lynchers
 
The theft, the rape, the putrid abduction
The fetid kidnap
The odd noun that ends in S
The stupid crime, the lone criminal
Where someone makes a bend
The boondocks of the world, where we are
The stupid crime, short, short, short
Where someone makes a bend
The boondocks of the world, where we are
Where someone makes a bend
The boondocks of the world, where we are

Trucker

Everyday when I take the road
It's almost always late at night
And my love only gets bigger
 
Because I think of her all along
I imagine her caresses
And all the good she does to me
 
And, crazy for the sweetness of her kiss
I look, full of desire, at her picture on the panel
And it's on the coasting of her arms
That I put my tiredness to sleep
And feed on this honey

I know
I'm going towards her
My heart already beats faster
But I drive carefully
No, I don't coast out of gear
 
I know
That everyday along this road
As I drive, I think of her
On the bumper I've painted a heart
And her name...
 
And her name...
And her name...
And her name...
 
Don't contain yourself, don't contain yourself...

Don't contain yourself, no, don't contain yourself...

Who Shall Say?

Who shall say
That who you are all seeing
On that table, drinking
Is the woman I love
 
Notice that every time she speaks
She brightens the room up
More than the reflector's light
 
The cabaret stirs up
When she dances
And with the same hope
Everyone looks at her
 
And I, her owner
Remain here, in my abandonment
I wait, almost falling asleep
For the cabaret to end
 
'Boy! Take this girl with you'
A friend told me one day
When he saw us talking
 
'You guys love each other
And love is to be sacred
Forget all the rest
Go build yourself a home!'
 
Trust me! I almost took his advice
The world, such a huge mirror
That made me think like this
 
She was born destined to be the moon
For all those who were on the street
She won't live only for me
 
Who shall say?

She Told Me (Go Away)

She told me
'Feel pity on me. Go away!
He can come
You'll do me harm. It's time!'
 
And I didn't have any reason
To say no
And, with kisses, I fell into her arms
And asked her to stay
 
You know what went on?
He found us. And now
She suffers only because
She did what I wanted
 
And remorse is killing me
For the madness I did
For just a single pleasure
I made my lover unhappy

If By Chance You Came

If by chance you came
And if down at my chateau you'd found
The woman you liked
Would you be brave to change our friendship
For her, who once abandoned you?
 
If by chance you came
And if down at my chateau you'd found
The woman you liked
Would you be brave to change our friendship
For her, who once abandoned you?
 
I say so because this lady
Already lives in my shack, close to a stream
And to a blossomed grove
In the morning, she does the washing
In the evening, she does the kissing
And so we live of love

Come Back

I haven't slept for many nights
Rolling on my bed
Feeling so many things
That we can't explain
When we love
 
The heat of the sheets
Don't warm me well
There's nothing in the world
That can put away
This coldness from my chest
 
Come back!
Come live once again by my side!
I can't sleep without your arm
As my body is already used
 
Come back!
Come live once again by my side!
I can't sleep without your arm
As my body is already used
 
Come back!
Come live once again by my side!
I can't sleep without your arm
As my body is already used
 
Come back!
Come live once again by my side!
I can't sleep without your arm
As my body is already used

That's Why I Run So Much

My darling, every moment
That I'm not seeing you
Makes the nostalgia I feel about you
Only grow
 
Then, I run so much
I suffer so much
I run so much just to see you, my darling
 
And still, you ask me
Not to run this much
My darling, I can't bear
You being far from me
 
That's why I run so much
I run so much
Then, I suffer so much
Just to see you, my darling...
 
If you're by my side, I only walk slowly
I forget everything, I don't see time flying by
But if the time of taking you home comes
I run so that a new day will come fast
 
That's why I run so much
Then I run so much
I run so much
Just to see you
 
If you were always by my side
I wouldn't have
A reason to run
And slowly I would walk
 
I wouldn't run so much
Now I run so much
I run so much
Just to see you
 
I run so much
Then I run so much
I run so much
Just to see you
 
Then I run so much
I run so much
I run so much
Just to see you
 
I run so much
Then I run so much...
