Beradêro [English translation]

The sad eyes of the tape

Spinning in the tape recorder

A lady sewing

With the Equator line

And the voice of the saint saying

What am I doing

Being carried in this procession?

The paint paints the asphalt

Decorates the soul driver

It's color in the color of the city

Lipstick in the northern lip

The eyes see such southeast hues

And the kiss you gave me1

Skyscrapper in the mouth of São Paulo2

Electric chairs from the baiana3

Sentence for the tourist to smell

And those who are loveless, homeless

Those who are passionless, landless

In the chest of the cowards4 an arrow

And the iliterate gypsy

Reading the palm of Paulo Freire5

The happiness of the sad

Sadness of the happy

Voices like a knife cutting

Like the laughter of the snake

Are sounds of "yes", but however

Broken foot, dumb verse

Shout in our hospital

Are sonds, are sounds like "yes"

Are sonds, are sounds like "yes"

Are sonds, are sounds like "yes"

But however

Broken foot, dumb verse

Shout in our hospital

Iê iê iê, iê iê iê

Iê iê Iê, iê iê iê

Catolé do Rocha

War square6

Catolé do Rocha

Where the goat man shouts

Bari bari bari

There's a bullet in my body

Bari bar bari

And it's not a coconut candy7

Bari bari bari

There's a bullet in my body

Bari bar bari

And it's not a coconut candy

Catolé do Rocha

War square

Catolé do Rocha

Where the goat man shouts

Catolé do Rocha

War square

Catolé do Rocha

Where the goat man shouts

Are sonds, are sounds like "yes"

Are sonds, are sounds like "yes"

Are sonds, are sounds like "yes"

But however

Broken foot, dumb verse

Shout in our hospital
