Lyrics
Os bias-frias
Quando tomam umas biritas
Espantando a tristeza
Sonham com bife a cavalo, batata-frita
E a sobremesa
goiabada casco, com muito queijo
Depois caf, cigarro e um beijo
De uma mulata chamada Leonor ou Dagmar…
Amar
O rdio de pilha, o fogo Jacar
A marmita, o domingo, o bar
Onde tantos iguais se renem contando mentiras
Pra poder suportar
Ai, so pais-de-santo, paus-de-arara, so passistas
So flagelados, so pingentes, balconistas
Palhaos, marcianos, anibais, lrios pirados
Danando, dormindo de olhos abertos
sombra da alegoria dos faras embalsamados
Lyrics translation
The biases-frias
When they take a few biritas
Scaring away the sadness
Dream of horse steak, french fries
And dessert
guava Hull, with lots of cheese
After caf, cigarette and a kiss
From a mulatto named Leonor or Dagmar…
Love
The pile rdio, the Jacar fire
The pot, the Sunday, the bar
Where so many equals renege telling lies
To be able to bear
Alas, they are holy fathers, macaws, they are passers-by
They're flagellates, they're pendants, they're balconies.
Straw, Martian, Anibal, irate
Darn, sleeping with eyes open
shadow of the Allegory of embalmed faras
