Lyrics

Elaeu ela ela ela
Ela Elaeu
Elaeu ela ela ela
Ela Elaeu
Ela
A coisa medonha
Vive se orgulhando
Do que me envergonha.
Ela
Sendo meu avesso
Usa do meu corpo
Como endereço
E, presa de fraqueza
Minha vontade ainda
Duela
Com ela.
Elaela ela ela
Ela Elaeu
Elaeu ela ela ela
Ela Elaeu.
Ela
Este meu oposto
Que a contragosto
Tanto me fascina.
Ouso
Mesmo receoso
Procurar seu rosto
E louco e sem conselho
Pela sua face
Me vejo no espelho.
Elaeu ela ela ela
Ela Elaeu
Elaeu ela ela ela
Ela Elaeu

Lyrics translation

She I she she she
She Elaeu
She I she she she
She Elaeu
She
The ghastly thing
Live proud
What embarrasses me.
She
Being my inside out
Use of my body
As address
And, prey of weakness
My will still
Hurt
With her.
Elaela she she
She Elaeu
She I she she she
She Elaeu.
She
This is my opposite
That reluctantly
It fascinates me so much.
Dare
Even fearful
Search your face
And crazy and without advice
By your face
I see myself in the mirror.
She I she she she
She Elaeu
She I she she she
She Elaeu
