Lyrics

Sonhei que era uma rosa
Feminil e delicada
Acordei viril
Musculosa e inadequada
Sonhei que era uma voz
A propor belas falas
Não a rudez que tolhe
Em prosa que não calha
No andar
No pensar
No amar
Um eterno mal estar
Pra quê fui o amor inventar
Sou aquela que se entrosa
Com todos os meninos
Vigorosa e desprendida
Nas bandas da vida
Países não me explicam
Parentes não me abrigam
Poetas me perfuram
E palavras me penetram
No andar
No olhar
No tocar
Um eterno desejar
Pra quê fui o amor revirar
No feminino tímida
No masculino íntima
Sou de improviso lúbrica
De propósito rústica

Lyrics translation

I dreamed it was a rose
Feminine and delicate
I woke up Manly
Muscular and inadequate
I dreamed it was a voice
Proposing beautiful words
Not the rudeness that Tolle
In prose that does not gutter
On the floor
Not thinking
Not to love
An eternal evil
What was love to invent
I'm the one who gets in the way
With all the boys
Vigorous and detached
In the bands of life
Countries do not explain to me
Relatives do not Shelter Me
Poets pierce me
And words penetrate me
On the floor
In the look
Do not touch
An eternal wish
What was love for?
In the shy female
In male intimate
I'm a lyrical impromptu
Rustic purpose
