Lyrics
Asinhas de anjo barroco
Bochechas de anjo barroco
Nádegas de anjo barroco
Bugigangas, velhos pincéis
Cem mil réis de carne com osso
Cem mil réis de queijo de prato
Cem mil réis de filó barato
Gesso, cola, tintas, telões
Abstrações, visões coloridas
Cena do balé dos anões
No ateliê da louca varrida
Dando, rindo, lendo Camões
Representações de cenas proibidas
Obcenas obsessões
No ateliê da louca varrida
Vivendo, varrendo os salões
Edyth Cooper, Edyth Cooper
Edyth Cooper, vem me consolar
Edyth Cooper, Edyth Cooper
Faz minha vassoura voar
Edyth Cooper, Edyth Cooper
Os morcegos vão me chupar — será?
Edyth Cooper, Edyth Cooper
Sem você eu vou me borrar de tinta
Eu vou me pintar de gesso
Eu vou me engessar de cola
Eu vou descolar de medo
Lyrics translation
Baroque angel wings
Baroque Angel cheeks
Baroque Angel buttocks
Trinkets, old brushes
One hundred thousand kings of meat with bone
One hundred thousand kings of dish cheese
One hundred thousand kings of cheap spun
Plaster, glue, paints, screens
Abstractions, colorful visions
Scene of the ballet of the Dwarves
In the studio of the crazy swept
Giving, laughing, reading trucks
Representations of prohibited scenes
Obsessions
In the studio of the crazy swept
Living, sweeping the halls
Edyth Cooper, Edyth Cooper
Edyth Cooper, come comfort me
Edyth Cooper, Edyth Cooper
Makes my broom fly
Edyth Cooper, Edyth Cooper
Bats will suck me — will it?
Edyth Cooper, Edyth Cooper
Without you I'll blur ink
I'll paint myself with plaster
I'll cast myself in glue
I'll take off from fear
