A Rosa [English translation]

She crushes my project of life

My dear, guiding star of my path

A thorn nailed in my throat

Throat

The holy lady sometimes changes my name

And disappears

She disappears late on the dawn

Poor, she works on duty

An artist, she goes crazy for Portela*

Look at her

Look at her, all dressed in green and pink*

Rosa ensures she's always mine

So quiet, she went out to buy cigarettes

So funny, she brought some Northern things

What luck!

What luck, she came so smiling

So stupid, she invents some caresses

Like an Egyptian, she meets me and shy away

Fantastic, she embroidered my name on the blouse

She abuses, she acuses me

She examines my pants' pockets

So untrue, she let my wallet empty

So good, she paid our debt

So nice, at the good time, she leaves, she complains

The geisha

What a marvelous thing

Rosa

Oh, Rosa, what about my project of life?

Bandit, where is my guiding star?

Bitch, she forgets me in the dark night

But she swears

She promisses me that someday she'll be back home

She crushes my project of life

My dear, guiding star of my path

A thorn nailed in my throat

Throat

The holy lady sometimes she calls me Alberto

She must have dreamt of a soap opera

Like Penelope she waits for me sewing

Sweating, she got sick in a fever

What fever

Bunny, she's so hot

Rosa

Rosa has sworn me eternal love

My suit was kept on the laundry

She brought me a tight clothe one day

I like it, I like it

She decided she wanted to dance tango

My meal vanished from the fridge

Housewife, her sauce is delicious

Good daughter, she visits her family in São Paulo

So wild, so wild

She came back with her skin tanned

Fairy, she stops my joy

She ruins my larynx

Like sphinx she devours myself

So nice, so nice

What a such delicious thing

Oh, Rosa, what about my project of life?

Bandit! where is my guiding star?

Bitch, she forgets me in the dark night

But she swears

She promisses me that she'll be back home someday
