Lyrics and translation Ed Motta - Canção em Torno Dele

Canção em Torno Dele

CORO
Morreu
Já foi
A porta já fechou

Deitou
Dormiu
E nunca mais voltou

Gritou?
Sofreu?
Pediu?

Babou
Depois
Caiu?

E olha as marcas aí...

Foi bom?
Foi mau?
Pisava na ralé?

Foi Deus?
Foi quem
Que deu-lhe a marcha a ré?

E então
Pifou
Fundiu

Furou
Michou
Faliu

E olha os bichos aí
No nariz um cupim
É manjar pro urubu
O pior pudim
Essa unha azul
Esse lábio diz
Para sempre: o quê?
Esse olho vê
Para sempre: quem?
Será que?

A Song About Him

CHORUS
He's dead
He's gone
The door is closed

He lay down
He slept
And never came back

Did he scream?
Did he suffer?
Did he beg?

Did he drool?
After
Did he fall?

And look at the marks here...

Was it good?
Was it bad?
Did he step on the rabble?

Was it God?
Was it someone
Who gave him the go-ahead?

And then
It stopped
It burned out

It punctured
It pissed
It failed

And look at the bugs here
A termite on his nose
It's food for the vulture
The worst pudding
This blue nail
This lip says
Forever: what?
This eye sees
Forever: who?
Could it be?
