Lyrics and translation Itamar Assumpcao - Movido à Água

Movido à Água

Existe o carro movido à gasolina
Gasolina
Existe o carro movido a óleo diesel
Óleo diesel
Existe o carro movido a álcool
Álcool, álcool, álcool

Existe o carro movido à eletricidade
Eletricidade
Existe o carro movido a gás de cozinha
Gás de cozinha, gás
Eu descobri o carro movido à água
Quase eu grito: Eureca, eureca, Eurico!

Aí saquei que a água ia ficar uma nota
E os açudes iam tudo Ceará
Os rios não desaguariam mais no mar
E os açudes iam tudo Ceará
Os rios não desaguariam mais no mar

Nem o mar mais vira sertão
Nem o sertão mais vira mar
Banho nem de sol

Chamei o anjo e devolvi a descoberta para o infinito
Aleguei ser um invento inviável, só realizável
Por obra e graça do Santo Espírito

Agora eu tô bolando um carro movido a bagulhos
Dejetos, restos, detritos, fezes, três vezes estrume
Um carro de luxo movido a lixo
Um carro pra sempre movido a bosta de gente

Nhé-nhé-nhé

Water-Powered

There's a car powered by gasoline
Gasoline
There's a car powered by diesel
Diesel
There's a car powered by alcohol
Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol

There's a car powered by electricity
Electricity
There's a car powered by cooking gas
Cooking gas, gas
I discovered the water-powered car
I almost shouted: Eureka, eureka, Eurico!

Then I realized that water would become a currency
And the reservoirs would all become Ceará
The rivers would no longer flow into the sea
And the reservoirs would all become Ceará
The rivers would no longer flow into the sea

Not even the sea would become a desert
Not even the desert would become the sea
Not even a sunbath

I called the angel and returned the discovery to infinity
I claimed it was an unviable invention, only achievable
By the grace of the Holy Spirit

Now I'm developing a car powered by junk
Sewage, leftovers, debris, feces, three times manure
A luxury car powered by garbage
A car forever powered by human waste

Nhé-nhé-nhé
