Lyrics
Acreditar na existncia dourada do sol
Mesmo que em plena boca nos bata o acoite
Contnuo da noite
Arrebentar a corrente que envolve o amanh
Despertar as espadas, varrer as esfinges das encruzilhadas
Todo esse tempo foi igual a dormir num navio
Sem fazer movimento
Mas tecendo o fio da gua e do vento
Eu, baderneiro, me tornei cavaleiro
Malandramente pelos caminhos
Meu companheiro t armado at os dentes
J no h mais moinhos como os de antigamente
Lyrics translation
Believe in the Golden existence of the sun
Even if in full mouth we hit the acoite
Night time
Breaking the current that surrounds the morning
Awaken the swords, sweep the sphinxes from the crossroads
All this time it was the same as sleeping on a ship
Without making movement
But weaving the thread of water and wind
I, baderneiro, became a knight
Malandramente by the paths
My mate t armed at the teeth
J no h more mills like those of yesteryear
