Full lyrics
A mensageira dos anjos
Com seu cabelo lilás
Aperreava os demônios
Que habitam as catedrais
Do meu peito de menino
A deusa mãe da preguiça
Falava tão devagar
Era o sussurro da brisa
Era o balanço do mar
Como uma estrela cadente
Entrou na minha morada
Bebeu de minha saliva
Saiu e não disse nada
E eu fiquei sem demônios
Um anjo torto marcado
No céu da boca, no peito
No meu corpo tatuado
No meu corpo tatuado
A mensageira dos anjos
Com seu cabelo lilás
Aperreava os demônios
Que habitam as catedrais
Que habitam as catedrais
Do meu peito
Translation
The messenger of angels
With her lilac hair
She harassed the demons
That inhabit the cathedrals
Of my boy's chest
The mother goddess of laziness
Spoke so slowly
It was the whisper of the breeze
It was the rocking of the sea
Like a shooting star
She entered my dwelling
Drank from my saliva
Left and said nothing
And I was left without demons
A crooked angel marked
In the roof of my mouth, in my chest
Tattooed on my body
Tattooed on my body
The messenger of angels
With her lilac hair
She harassed the demons
That inhabit the cathedrals
That inhabit the cathedrals
Of my chest
