Lyrics of Anjo Avesso - Alceu Valença

Anjo Avesso (original)

Safada era a cara do anjo
Que no quarto noturno pintou
No meu ouvido falou
Loucuras de amor
Pegou minha mão e saímos na troca de passos
Que beijo molhado, escandalizado
Que até minha gata se escandalizou
Com um penacho de índio ele me coroou
Sou anjo avesso, sou Tupã presente
Guerreiro sempre, galho da semente
Do algodão, do pau-brasil
Da serpentina que coloriu
Os olhos do cego, a voz do anão
A vida e o meu coração de leão

(translation)

Naughty was the face of the angel
That in the night room he painted
In my ear spoke
Love Follies
She took my hand and we left in the exchange of steps
What a wet, scandalized kiss
That even my cat was scandalized
With an Indian feather he crowned me
I'm an averse angel, I'm Tupã present
Warrior always, branch of the seed
From cotton, from brazilwood
From the serpentine that colored
The eyes of the blind man, the voice of the dwarf
Life is my lion heart
