É Preciso Que Eu Diminua [English translation]

I no longer fit into a house

Where the space is all mine

It's not deeds that will save me

Growing is all I know

But growing is all I know

I sleep with the window open

Got my arms on the clothes line

I could wave at you

But growing is all I know

Growing is all I know

I read the top of the shelf

It's all books that fatten

And I have to abbreviate myself

But growing is all I know

Growing is all I know

Any palm that measures me

Is from a hand with no scar

What I am, is large in bones

For growing is all I know

Growing is all I know

I can only fit myself here, inside

But I hit my own chest

For having my air rarefied

I begin the speech

Mentioning the subject

First person is a precept

Not even here, inside, I can fit

But I hit my head on the ceiling

And fall on the bystreet

I already shut the speech

Because the tongue trips

But gigantism muffles

I invent virtues already

On the peak I don't sin

Down there I had a hunchback

I'm so obsessed with myself

That I shoot at the gigantic

Doll barred in the alley

I don't know how to invent myself anymore

It's just more of the same

Yeast in autism dough

I'm not even amazed at myself anymore

There is sea and stagnation

There is going and returning aphorism

Growing is all I know

But growing is all I know
