Dormi na praça [English translation]

I walked down the streets

on my own.

I talked to the stars

and to the moon .

I laid down in the square's bench,

Trying to forget you .

I fell asleep and next I dreamed of you.

In the dream, you came to me

Seductively.

You gave me a sweet kiss

and hugged me .

But right at the moment of the truth,

At the very apex of the passion,

The day dawned,

A cop woke me up.

"Mr. Policeman"

"I am not a beggar "

"I am not a criminal "

"I am just a needy man "

"I was sleeping out here "

"Thinking of her "

"Mr. Policeman "

"Be nice to me "

"Beat me, arrest me "

"Do whatever "

"But just don't let me be "

"Without her"
