Lyrics
Mesmo que os cantores sejam falsos como eu Sero bonitas, no importa
So bonitas as canes
Mesmo miserveis os poetas
Os seus versos sero bons
Mesmo porque as notas eram surdas
Quando um deus sonso e ladro
Fez das tripas a primeira lira
Que animou todos os sons
E da nasceram as baladas
E os arroubos de bandidos como eu Cantando assim:
Voc nasceu para mim
Voc nasceu para mim
Mesmo que voc feche os ouvidos
E as janelas do vestido
Minha musa vai cair em tentao
Mesmo porque estou falando grego
Com sua imaginao
Mesmo que voc fuja de mim
Por labirintos e alapes
Saiba que os poetas como os cegos
Podem ver na escurido
E eis que, menos sbios do que antes
Os seus lbios ofegantes
Ho de se entregar assim:
Me leve at o fim
Me leve at o fim
Mesmo que os romances sejam falsos como o nosso
So bonitas, no importa
So bonitas as canes
Mesmo sendo errados os amantes
Seus amores sero bons
Lyrics translation
Even if the singers are fake as I will be beautiful, no matter
The dogs are beautiful
Even you miserve the poets
Your verses will be good
Even because the notes were deaf
When a God Sosso and thief
Made the guts the first lyre
That animated all the sounds
And the ballads were born
And the rustles of bandits like me singing like this:
You were born to me
You were born to me
Even if you close your ears
And the windows of the dress
My muse will fall into temptation
Even because I'm speaking Greek
With your imagination
Even if you run away from me
By mazes and alapes
Know that poets like the blind
You can see in the dark
And behold, less wise than before
Their breathless lbios
Ho to surrender so:
Take me to the end
Take me to the end
Even if the novels are fake like ours
They're beautiful, it doesn't matter
The dogs are beautiful
Even if the lovers are wrong
Your loves will be good
