Full lyrics

Demanhazinha o sol entrou pela janela

Revirando os meus segredos

Invadindo a minha cela

Procurando no meu ninho

Coisas do arco-da-velha


Abriu gavetas, revirou minhas lembranças,

Revi cartas, telegramas,

Diademas, bugigangas,

Cheiro de água de colônia

Da mulher que eu não amei


Me desarmou de minhas armas mais secretas

Esbarrou na minha pressa

De chegar ou de partir

Espetando a minha calma

Como se eu fosse um faquir

Translation

Early in the morning, the sun came through the window

Turning over my secrets

Invading my cell

Searching in my nest

For things from a bygone era


It opened drawers, rummaged through my memories,

Reviewed letters, telegrams,

Tiaras, trinkets,

The scent of cologne

From the woman I didn't love


It disarmed me of my most secret weapons

Stumbled upon my haste

To arrive or to leave

Piercing my calm

As if I were a fakir
