So inconsequential
Than Joana to Louca de Espanha
Rainha and fake insane
See to be counterparent
Da nora i never lived

E as a gymnastic farei
Andarei by bicycle
Montarei em brabo donkey
Subirei no pau-de-sebo
Tomarei banhos de mar!
And when i'm tired
Deito na beira do rio
I command chamar a mãe - d’água.
Pra tell me the stories
That no tempo de eu menino
Rosa Vinha tell me
Vou-me embora pra Pasárgada

I am passionate about it
É outra civilização
Safe process item
To prevent conception
Automatic telephone tem
Tem alkaloid à vontade
Tem pretty prostitutes
For people to fall in love

And when I am more sad
Saddest of não ter jeito
Quando de noite me der
Vontade to kill me
- La sou amigo do rei -
Terei a mulher que eu quero
Na bed that escolherei
Vou-embora me pra Pasárgada.

I lose my life, fall down, falhas do assoalho and vão conviver com ratos
e cheap or sick, no quintal skecidos between the pés de erva-cidreira

Assim calm, assim sad, assim lean,
Nem estes olhos tão vazios,

acho or Rio de Janeiro uma beauty and
now sim, now no, I believed in childbirth.
More, or that I feel screvo. I comply with sina.
Inaugurated linhagens, founded kingdoms
- dor não é bitterness.
Minha sadness I do not have a pedigree,
ha to minha vontade of joy,
Its root goes ao meu thousand avô.
It will be coxo na vida, é curse for homem.
Mulher é undobrável. Eu sou.
