O prometido é devido - 2015 Remaster

Naquele trilho secreto
Com palavras santo e senha
Eu fui língua e tu dialecto
Eu fui lume e tu foste lenha

Fomos guerras e alianças
Tratados de paz e péssangas
Fomos sardas pele e tranças
Popeline seda e ganga

Recordo aquele acordo
Bem claro e assumido
Eu trepava um eucalipto
E tu tiravas o vestido

Dessa vez tu não cumpriste
E faltaste ao prometido
E eu fiquei sentido e triste
Olha que isso não se faz
Disseste que se eu fosse audaz
Tu tiravas o vestido
Prometido é devido
O prometido é devido

Rompi eu as minhas calças
Esfolei mãos e joelhos
E tu reduziste o acordo
A um montão de cacos velhos

E eu que vinha de tão longe
Do outro lado da rua
Fazia o que tu quisesses
Só pra te poder ver nua

Quero já os almanaques
Do fantasma e do patinhas
Os falcões e os mandrakes
Tão cedo não terás novas minhas

Dessa vez tu não cumpriste
E faltaste ao prometido
E eu fiquei sentido e triste
Olha que isso não se faz
Disseste que se eu fosse audaz
Tu tiravas o vestido
Prometido é devido
O prometido é devido
O prometido é devido
O prometido é devido

The promise is due - 2015 Remaster

In that secret path
With holy words and passwords
I was tongue and you were dialect
I was fire and you were firewood

We were wars and alliances
Peace treaties and footraces
We were freckles skin and braids
Poplin silk and denim

I remember that agreement
Very clear and assumed
I would climb a eucalyptus tree
And you would take off your dress

This time you didn't keep your word
And you broke the promise
And I was hurt and sad
Look, that's not done
You said that if I was bold
You would take off your dress
Promises are due
The promise is due

I ripped my pants
I skinned my hands and knees
And you broke the deal
Into a pile of old shards

And I who came from so far away
From the other side of the street
I would do whatever you wanted
Just so I could see you naked

I want the almanacs now
From the ghost and the duck
The falcons and the mandrakes
You'll not hear from me again

This time you didn't keep your word
And you broke the promise
And I was hurt and sad
Look, that's not done
You said that if I was bold
You would take off your dress
Promises are due
The promise is due
The promise is due
The promise is due
