Full lyrics
As borboletas estão voando
A dança louca das borboletas
As borboletas estão girando
Estão virando a sua cabeça
As borboletas estão invadindo
Os apartamentos, cinemas e bares
Esgotos e rios e lagos e mares
Em um rodopio de arrepiar
Derrubam janelas e portas de vidro
Escadas rolantes e das chaminés
Mergulham e giram num véu de fumaça
E é como um arco-íris no centro do céu
Translation
The butterflies are flying
The crazy dance of the butterflies
The butterflies are spinning
They are turning your head
The butterflies are invading
The apartments, cinemas and bars
Sewers and rivers and lakes and seas
In a chilling swirl
They knock down windows and glass doors
Escalators and chimneys
They dive and spin in a veil of smoke
And it's like a rainbow in the center of the sky
