Paroles et traduction Chico Buarque - Não Sonho Mais

Não Sonho Mais

Hoje eu sonhei contigo
Tanta desdita, amor
Nem te digo
Tanto castigo
Que eu tava aflita de te contar
Foi um sonho medonho
Desses que às vezes a gente sonha
E baba na fronha
E se urina toda
E quer sufocar
Meu amor
Vi chegando um trem de candango
Formando um bando
Mas que era um bando de orangotango
Pra te pegar
Vinha nego humilhado
Vinha morto-vivo
Vinha flagelado
De tudo que é lado
Vinha um bom motivo
Pra te esfolar
Quanto mais tu corria
Mais tu ficava
Mais atolava
Mais te sujava
Amor, tu fedia
Empestava o ar
Tu, que foi tão valente
Chorou pra gente
Pediu piedade
Olha que maldade
Me deu vontade
De gargalhar
Ao pé da ribanceira
Acabou-se a liça
E escarrei-te inteira
A tua carniça
E tinha justiça
Nesse escarrar
Te rasgamo a carcaça
Descemo a ripa
Viramo as tripa
Comemo os ovo
Ai, e aquele povo
Pôs-se a cantar
Foi um sonho medonho
Desses que às vezes a gente sonha
E baba na fronha
E se urina toda
E já não tem paz
Pois eu sonhei contigo
E caí da cama
Ai, amor, não briga
Ai, não me castiga
Ai, diz que me ama
E eu não sonho mais

I Dream No More

Today I dreamt of you,
Such misfortune, my love,
I can't even tell you,
So much punishment,
That I was anxious to recount.
It was a hideous dream,
The kind that sometimes we have,
And drool on the pillow,
And wet ourselves completely,
And want to suffocate,
My love.
I saw a train of laborers arriving,
Forming a band,
But it was a band of orangutans,
To get you.
Humiliated men were coming,
The living dead were coming,
The scourged were coming,
From every direction,
There was a good reason
To flay you.
The more you ran,
The more you stayed,
The more you got stuck,
The more you got dirty,
My love, you stank,
You polluted the air,
You, who were so brave,
Cried to us,
Asked for mercy,
Look at the cruelty,
I felt like
Laughing out loud.
At the edge of the cliff,
The fight was over,
And I spat on your entire
Carcass,
And there was justice
In that spitting.
We tore your carcass,
We went down the slope,
We turned your guts,
We ate your eggs,
Oh, and those people
Started to sing.
It was a hideous dream,
The kind that sometimes we have,
And drool on the pillow,
And wet ourselves completely,
And have no peace anymore.
For I dreamt of you,
And fell out of bed,
Oh, my love, don't fight,
Oh, don't punish me,
Oh, say you love me,
And I'll dream no more.
