Full lyrics

Quando eu canto o seu coração se abala

Pois eu sou porta-voz da incoerência

Desprezando seu gesto de clemência

Sei que meu pensamento lhe atrapalha

Cego o sol seu cavalo de batalha

E faço a lua brilhar no meio-dia

Tempestade eu transformo em calmaria

E dou um beijo no fio da navalha

Pra dançar e cair nas suas malhas

Gargalhando e sorrindo de agonia


Se acaso eu chorar não se espante

O meu riso e o meu choro não têm planos

Eu canto a dor, o amor, o desengano

E a tristeza infinita dos amantes

Don Quixote liberto de Cervantes

Descobri que os moinhos são reais

Entre feras, corujas e chacais

Viro pedra no meio do caminho

Viro rosa, vereda de espinhos

Incendeio esses tempos glaciais

Translation

When I sing, your heart trembles

For I am the spokesperson of incoherence

Disdaining your gesture of clemency

I know my thoughts bother you

I blind the sun, your warhorse

And make the moon shine at midday

I transform storm into calm

And give a kiss to the edge of the razor

To dance and fall into your meshes

Laughing and smiling in agony


If by chance I cry, don't be surprised

My laughter and my tears have no plans

I sing of pain, love, disappointment

And the infinite sadness of lovers

Don Quixote freed from Cervantes

I discovered that the windmills are real

Among beasts, owls, and jackals

I turn to stone in the middle of the road

I turn into a rose, a path of thorns

I set these glacial times on fire
