Lyrics of Os Outros Romanticos - Caetano Veloso

Os Outros Romanticos (original)

Eram os outros românticos, no escuro
Cultuavam outra idade média, situada no futuro
Não no passado
Sendo incapazes de acompanhar
A baba Babel de economias
As mil teorias da economia
Recitadas na televisão
Tais irredutíveis ateus
Simularam uma religião
E o espírito era o sexo de Pixote, então
Na voz de algum cantor de rock alemão
Com o ódio aos que mataram Pixote a mão
Nutriam a rebeldia e a revolução
E os trinta milhões de meninos abandonados do Brasil
Com seus peitos crescendo, seus paus crescendo
E os primeiros mênstruos
Compunham as visões dos seus vitrais
E seus apocalipses mais totais
E suas utopias radicais
Anjos sobre Berlim
«O mundo desde o fim»
E no entanto era um SIM
E foi e era e é e será sim

(translation)

It was the other romantics, in the dark
They worshiped another middle age, situated in the future
not in the past
Being unable to follow up
The Babel baba of savings
The thousand theories of economics
Recited on television
Such irreducible atheists
They simulated a religion
And the spirit was Pixote's sex, so
In the voice of some German rock singer
With hatred for those who killed Pixote by hand
They nurtured the rebellion and the revolution
And the thirty million abandoned boys in Brazil
With your boobs growing, your dicks growing
And the first period
They composed the views of their stained glass windows
And its most total apocalypses
And its radical utopias
angels over berlin
«The world since the end»
And however, it was a YES
And it was and it was and it is and it will be yes
