Lyrics
Meu grande amigo
desconfiado e estridente
eu sempre tive comigo
que eras na verdade
delicado e inocente
findaste o teu desenho
e a tua marca sobre a terra resplandece
resplandece nítida e real
entre livros e os tambores do vigário geral
e o brilho não é pequeno
eu sigo aqui e sempre em frente
deixando minha errática marca de serpente
sem asas e sem veneno
sem plumas e sem raiva
suficiente
Lyrics translation
My great friend
suspicious and shrill
I've always had it with me
that you were actually
delicate and innocent
you finished your drawing
and your mark on the Earth shines forth
shines crisp and real
between books and the drums of the vicar general
and the brightness is not small
I follow here and always forward
leaving my erratic snake mark
no wings and no poison
no feathers and no anger
I've had enough
