The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Os Outros Romanticos" by Caetano Veloso.
Lyrics
Eram os outros românticos, no escuro
Cultuavam outra idade média, situada no futuro
Não no passado
Sendo incapazes de acompanhar
A baba Babel de economias
As mil teorias da economia
Recitadas na televisão
Tais irredutíveis ateus
Simularam uma religião
E o espírito era o sexo de Pixote, então
Na voz de algum cantor de rock alemão
Com o ódio aos que mataram Pixote a mão
Nutriam a rebeldia e a revolução
E os trinta milhões de meninos abandonados do Brasil
Com seus peitos crescendo, seus paus crescendo
E os primeiros mênstruos
Compunham as visões dos seus vitrais
E seus apocalipses mais totais
E suas utopias radicais
Anjos sobre Berlim
«O mundo desde o fim»
E no entanto era um SIM
E foi e era e é e será sim
Lyrics translation
Were the other romantics in the dark
They worshiped another Middle Ages, situated in the future
Not in the past
Being unable to keep up
The baba Babel of savings
The thousand theories of Economics
Recited on television
Such irreducible atheists
They faked a religion
And the spirit was Pixote's sex, so
In the voice of some German rock singer
With the hatred of those who killed Pixote the hand
Nurtured rebellion and revolution
And the thirty million abandoned boys of Brazil
With her tits growing, her dicks growing
And the first minstrels
They made up the views of their stained glass windows
And its most total apocalypses
And its radical utopias
Angels over Berlin
"The world from the end»
And yet it was a yes
And was and was and is and will be yes
