Full lyrics

Eu desço dessa solidão

Espalho coisas sobre um chão de giz

Há meros devaneios tolos

A me torturar

Fotografias recortadas

em jornais de folhas, amiúde...

Eu vou te jogar

Num pano de guardar confetes

Disparo balas de canhão

É inútil pois existe um grão-vizir

Há tantas violetas velhas

Sem um colibri

Queria usar quem sabe

Uma camisa de força

Ou de vênus

Mas não vou gozar de nós

Apenas um cigarro

Nem vou lhe beijar

Gastando assim o meu batom

Agora pego um caminhão na lona

Vou a nocaute outra vez

Pra sempre fui acorrentado

No seu calcanhar

Meus vinte anos de ¨boy¨

That's over baby! Freud explica

Não vou me sujar

Fumando apenas um cigarro

Nem vou lhe beijar

Gastando assim o meu batom.

Quanto ao pano dos confetes

Já passou meu carnaval

E isso explica porque o sexo

É assunto popular.

No mais estou indo embora

No mais estou indo embora

No mais....

Translation

I descend from this solitude

I scatter things on a chalk floor

There are mere foolish daydreams

Torturing me

Cut-out photographs

in newspaper sheets, often...

I'm going to throw you

In a cloth to store confetti

I fire cannonballs

It's useless because there is a grand vizier

There are so many old violets

Without a hummingbird

I wanted to wear perhaps

A straitjacket

Or of Venus

But I won't enjoy us

Just a cigarette

Nor will I kiss you

Wasting my lipstick like that

Now I grab a truck on the canvas

I go to knockout again

I was forever chained

At your heel

My twenty years of "boy"

That's over baby! Freud explains

I won't get dirty

Smoking just a cigarette

Nor will I kiss you

Wasting my lipstick like that.

As for the confetti cloth

My carnival has passed

And that explains why sex

Is a popular subject.

Furthermore, I'm leaving

Furthermore, I'm leaving

Furthermore....
