Na Minha Veia [English translation]

I want you in my veins

Because you're my blood

I want you without any call for attention

I want to be the vegetal1 of your degradation

And I want you to be the flower in my swamp

You're a full moon

That gets dirty in my sky

However, not only are you my muse

As, in my messy mind,

You're my own samba

The richness of my soul

The verses of the poetry

Tasty gastronomy

My ideology

And Olorun's2 masterpiece

Dear Lord, I want you so much!

I want you in my veins

Because you're my blood

I want you without any call for attention

I want to be the vegetal1 of your degradation

And I want you to be the flower in my swamp

You're a full moon

That gets dirty in my sky

However, not only are you my muse

As, in my messy mind,

You're my own samba

The richness of my soul

The verses of the poetry

Tasty gastronomy
