Full lyrics

Eu quero um terraço

Com telhas de vidro

Na beira de um lago

De águas azuis


E quatro janelas

Abertas pro mundo

Mostrando a mim mesmo

Os pontos cardeais


Eu quero o meu rádio

De pilha ligado

No mesmo segundo

Em quatro estações


Sentir o bocejo

Da boca do mundo

Ouvir num segundo

Duzentas canções


Deitar no meu sonho

Sem nenhum remorso

Na beira de um lago

De águas azuis


Não quero esse dedo

No rosto de Pedro

Nem quero pra Paulo

O peso da cruz


São pontos de vista

De dois olhos cegos

E clara evidência

São pontos de luz


Não quero essa boca

Jorrando pra dentro

Palavras e gritos

E berros e luz


E línguas e lábios

E dentes sangrando

No tapa, no berro

No braço e no murro


Eu quero é dormir

Sem nenhum remorso

Na beira de um lago

De águas azuis

Translation

I want a terrace

With glass tiles

On the edge of a lake

Of blue waters


And four windows

Open to the world

Showing myself

The cardinal points


I want my radio

With batteries on

In the same second

In four stations


To feel the yawn

Of the mouth of the world

To hear in a second

Two hundred songs


To lie down in my dream

Without any remorse

On the edge of a lake

Of blue waters


I don't want that finger

In Pedro's face

Nor do I want for Paulo

The weight of the cross


They are points of view

Of two blind eyes

And clear evidence

They are points of light


I don't want that mouth

Gushing inward

Words and screams

And shouts and light


And tongues and lips

And teeth bleeding

In the slap, in the shout

In the arm and in the punch


I want to sleep

Without any remorse

On the edge of a lake

Of blue waters
