Lyrics

Encostado ao balcão da taberna
O bêbado pintor
Espera a noite de sombras vazias
E quem vende o amor assim
Louco e ébrio num circo deserto
Cambaleando e só
Um palhaço triste
Inventa um pouco de alegria
E dança num palco gasto
Afastando o pó
Hoje eu sou rei do mundo
Pintor de todo o lugar
Um coração de vagabundo
Sabe voar
Ela entra nas noites sem rumo
Com o olhar vazio
E traz nos cabelos
A brisa leve do Outono
Que ele quis pintar
E lhe fugiu
Só e ébrio num carrossel louco
Sem mastro nem chão
Diz-lhe: vem ver um palhaço triste
Descobrir a poesia
Em noites de amor
E solidão
Hoje eu sou o rei do mundo
Pintor de todo o lugar
Um coração de vagabundo
Sabe voar

Lyrics translation

Leaning against the counter of the tavern
The drunk painter
Wait for the night of empty shadows
And who sells love like that
Crazy and drunk in a desert circus
Staggering and only
A sad clown
Invent a little joy
And dance on a shabby stage
Pushing away dust
Today I am king of the world
Painter from all over the place
A tramp's heart
Can fly
She enters the nights aimlessly
With the empty look
And brings in the hair
The light breeze of Autumn
That he wanted to paint
And ran away from him
Alone and drunk on a crazy carousel
No mast or ground
Tell him: come see a sad clown
Discovering poetry
On nights of love
And loneliness
Today I am the king of the world
Painter from all over the place
A tramp's heart
Can fly
