Telegrama [English translation]

I was so sad

Very sad

More boring

Than the skinny top-model

On the runway

I was alone

Alone

More lonely

Than a Paulistano 1

Than an actor

When the curtain falls

I was sillier

Than a rock band

Than a clown

Of the Vostok circus

But yesterday

I received a telegram

It was you writing from Aracaju 2

Or maybe from Alabama

Saying

"Dude, be happy

Because in the world

There are people who say:

That they love you!

That they love you very much!

That they love you!

That they love you very much!..."

Because of that I woke up today

With a great desire of

Giving the deputy flowers

Of knocking on my neighbor's door

And wish he had a nice day

Of kissing the Portuguese man

From the bakery...

Mama! Oh Mama! Oh Mama

I want to be yours!

I want to be yours!

I want to be yours!

I want to be your papa! (2x)
