Perfeição [English translation]

Let’s celebrate human stupidity

The stupidity of all nations

my country and its coterie

of killers, cowards, rapists

and thieves…

Let’s celebrate

the stupidity of the populous

our police and television

let’s celebrate our government

and our state that isn’t a nation

Celebrate the youth without schools

the dead children

Celebrate our disunity…

Let’s celebrate Eros and Thanatos

Persephone and Hades

Let’s celebrate our sorrow

Let’s celebrate our vanity…

Let’s commemorate like idiots

Every February [Brazilian Carnaval time] and holiday

All the dead on the road,

the dead due to lack of hospitals…

Let’s celebrate our ‘justice’

greed and defamation

Let’s celebrate the prejudices

the vote of the illiterate [voting is mandatory in Brazil]

Celebrate the rotten water

and all the taxes, fires,

lies, and kidnappings.

Our castle of marked cards

the slave labor

our small universe

All the hypocrisy

and all affectation

every robbery and indifference

Let’s celebrate epidemics

It’s the champion team’s party!

Let’s celebrate the hunger

Having no one to listen

And no one to love

Let’s feed what is evil

Let’s wound the heart

Let’s celebrate our flag

our past of glorious absurdities

all that’s gratuitous and ugly

all that’s normal

Let’s sing together

the national anthem

the tear is heartfelt

Let’s celebrate our nostalgia

and commemorate our loneliness

Let’s celebrate the envy

the intolerance

and close-mindedness

Let’s celebrate the violence

and forget our people

that worked honestly

their whole lives

and now no longer

have rights to anything

Let’s celebrate the aberration

of our whole lack

of common sense

our disregard for education

Let’s celebrate the horror

of all this

with party, funeral and casket

It’s all dead and buried now

since we can also celebrate

the stupidity of those who sang

this song…

Come!

My heart is in a hurry!

When hope is dispersed

only the truth sets me free

Enough of evil and delusion

Come!

Love always has the door open

and spring is coming

Our future restarts

Come because what’s coming is Perfection!
