Os Ofendidos [English translation]

On the road of Pompeii1 an old man showed up to me

He used old clothing and he was blind of an eye

He asked me what was new in this world

I told him: 'Wars, crimes...' And he said: 'The world doesn't frighten me'

The world only...

In an alley in Corumbá2 an indigenous man showed up to me

He had a cigarette on each of his hands and a sneaker on only one of his feet

He told me that he came from a tribe that was moving to Paraguay

But there's no longer this tribe, and the world doesn't frighten me

The world only insults me

No, the world doesn't frighten me

The world only...

I will let, I will let you think

That time has stopped running

I will dance, I will dance till it rains

Reasons to live

Let's bite time's ankle

So time can run

At the arcade in Siam3, an angel showed up to me

He had a sad look in his eyes and a single token

He asked me if I was in need of anything there

I said 'Yes, I'm in need of an answer, but the question frightens me'

But the question...

In the middle of the road, between the heavens and hell, both of them so ecstatic

Rook, bishop, the Devil, God and a single silence

I moved on and I could hear they talking

He clearly said: 'The world doesn't frighten me'

The world only insults me

No, the world doesn't frighten me

The world only...

I will let, I will let you think

That time has stopped running

I will dance, I will dance till it rains

Reasons to live

Let's bite time's ankle

So time can run

The world doesn't frighten me

The world only insults me

The world doesn't frighten me

The world only insults me

The world doesn't frighten me

The world only insults me

The world doesn't frighten me

The world only...
