| He loved that time as if it were the last
|
| He kissed his woman like she was the last
|
| And each child of yours as if he were the only one
|
| And crossed the street with his shy step
|
| The construction went up as if it were a machine
|
| Built four solid walls on the level
|
| Brick with brick in a magical design
|
| Your eyes dulled from cement and tear
|
| He sat down to rest like it was Saturday
|
| Ate beans and rice as if he were a prince
|
| He drank and sobbed like he was a castaway
|
| She danced and laughed as if she heard music
|
| And he stumbled across the sky like he was a drunk
|
| And it floated in the air as if it were a bird
|
| And if it ended up on the floor like a flaccid package
|
| He agonized in the middle of the public walkway
|
| Died in the wrong direction, interfering with traffic
|
| He loved that time as if it were the last
|
| Kissed his wife as if she were the only one
|
| And every son of his as if he were the prodigal
|
| And crossed the street with his drunken step
|
| He climbed into the building like it was solid
|
| Built four magical walls on the level
|
| Brick with brick in a logical design
|
| Your eyes dulled from cement and traffic
|
| He sat down to rest like a prince
|
| Ate beans and rice as if it were the best
|
| Drank and hiccuped as if it were a machine
|
| He danced and laughed like he was next
|
| And stumbled in the sky as if listening to music
|
| And it floated in the air as if it were Saturday
|
| And if it ended up on the floor like a shy package
|
| He agonized in the middle of the shipwreck
|
| Died in the wrong direction disturbing the public
|
| He loved that time as if he were a machine
|
| Kissed his wife as if it were logical
|
| Built four flaccid walls on the level
|
| He sat down to rest like a bird
|
| And he floated in the air as if he were a prince
|
| And if it ended up on the floor like a drunk package
|
| He died in the opposite direction, disturbing the Saturday
|
| For this bread to eat, for this floor to sleep
|
| The certificate to be born, the grant to smile
|
| For letting me breathe, for letting me exist
|
| God bless you
|
| For the free cachaça that we have to swallow
|
| By the smoke, disgrace, that we have to cough
|
| Through the scaffolding, pendants, which we have to fall
|
| God bless you
|
| For the mourner woman to praise us and spit
|
| And for the bugger flies to kiss us and cover
|
| And for the ultimate peace that will finally redeem us
|
| God bless you |
