Full lyrics
Safada era a cara do anjo
Que no quarto noturno pintou
No meu ouvido falou
Loucuras de amor
Pegou minha mão e saímos na troca de passos
Um beijo molhado escandalizado
Que até minha gata se escandalizou
E com um penacho de índio ele me coroou
Sou anjo avesso sou Tupã presente
Guerreiro sempre galho da semente
Do algodão do pau-brasil
Da serpentina que coloriu
Os olhos do cego a voz do anão
A vida e o meu coração de leão
Translation
Naughty was the face of the angel
That in the nocturnal room painted
In my ear he spoke
Madnesses of love
He took my hand and we went out in the exchange of steps
A wet, scandalous kiss
That even my cat was scandalized
And with an Indian plume he crowned me
I am a reverse angel, I am Tupã present
Warrior always branch of the seed
Of the cotton of brazilwood
Of the serpentine that colored
The eyes of the blind, the voice of the dwarf
Life and my lion heart
