Full lyrics
Eu sou como o vento que varre a cidade
Você me conhece e não pode me ver
Presente de grego, cavalo de Tróia
Sou cobra jibóia, Saci Pererê
Um anjo de fogo endemoniado
Que vai ao cinema, comete pecado
Que bebe cerveja e cospe no chão
Um anjo caolho que olhou os dois lados
Dormiu no presente, sonhou no passado
Olhou pro futuro e me disse que não
Não!
Translation
I am like the wind that sweeps the city
You know me and can't see me
Greek gift, Trojan horse
I am a boa constrictor, Saci Pererê
A fiery, demonized angel
Who goes to the cinema, commits sin
Who drinks beer and spits on the floor
A one-eyed angel who looked both ways
Slept in the present, dreamed in the past
Looked to the future and told me no
No!
