Full lyrics

Por fora esse olhar de senhora e pureza cristã

Por dentro uma febre que implora orgia e satã

Por fora essa norma que aceita com moderação

Por dentro uma brecha que espreita a hora de ação

Por fora esse corpo vestido de pano e de cor

Por dentro esse peito sentido por dano e por dor

Por fora esse passo medido senhor do terreno

Por dentro esse grito contido o sabor do veneno

Por fora me alisa, por dentro me pisa

Passa a corda e manda puxar

Por fora ainda é dia, por dentro agonia

Passa o tempo... passa o tempo.

Translation

On the outside, a look of a lady and Christian purity

On the inside, a fever that begs for orgies and Satan

On the outside, this norm that accepts with moderation

On the inside, a crack that watches for the hour of action

On the outside, this body dressed in cloth and color

On the inside, this chest aching from damage and pain

On the outside, this measured step, master of the terrain

On the inside, this contained scream, the taste of poison

On the outside, she caresses me; on the inside, she tramples me

Passes the rope and orders to pull

On the outside, it's still day; on the inside, agony

Time passes... time passes.
