Lyrics

Santa Apolónia arrotava magotes de gente
Do seu pobre ventre inchado, sujo e decadente
Quando Amélia desceu da carruagem dura e pegajosa
Com o coração danificado e a cabeça em polvorosa
Na mala o frasco de 'bien-etre' mal vedado
E o caderno dos desabafos todo ensopado
Amélia apresentava todos os sintomas de quem se dirige
Ao lado errado da noite
Para trás ficaram uma mãe chorosa e o pai embriagado
O pequeno poço dos desejos todo envenenado
A nódoa do bagaço naquela farda republicana
Que a queria levar pra cama todos os fins de semana
E o distinto patrão daquela maldita fundição
A quem era muito mais difícil dizer não
Amélia transportava todas as visões de quem se dirige
Ao lado errado da noite
Amélia encontrou Toni numa velha leitaria
Entre as bolas de berlim com creme e o sol que arrefecia
Ele falou-lhe de um presente bom e de um futuro emocionante
E escondeu-lhe tudo o que pudesse parecer decepcionante
Mais tarde, no quarto de pensão, chamou-lhe sua mulher
Seria ele a orientar o negócio de aluguer
Toni tinha todas as qualidades pra ser um rei
No lado errado da noite
Jonas está agarrado ao seu saxofone
A namorada deu-lhe com os pés pelo telefone
E ele encontrou inspiração numa notícia de jornal
Acerca de uma mulher que foi levada a tribunal
Por ter assassinado uma criança recém nascida
O juiz era um homem que prezava muito a vida
E a pena foi agravada por tudo se ter passado
No lado errado da noite

Lyrics translation

St. Apolonia was rolling up people's woes
From his poor swollen, dirty, decadent belly
When Amelia got off the hard, sticky carriage
With a damaged heart and a dusty head
In the suitcase the bottle of' bien-etre ' badly sealed
And the logbook of the outbursts all soaked
Amelia had all the symptoms of who is heading
Wrong side of the night
Behind were a crying mother and father drunk
The little pit of desires all poisoned
The blemish of the bagasse in that Republican uniform
That I wanted to take her to bed every weekend
And the distinguished boss of that damn Foundry
To whom it was much harder to say no
Amelia carried all the visions of those who are heading
Wrong side of the night
Amelia found Toni in an old dairy
Between the balls of Berlin with cream and The Sun that cooled
He told her about a good gift and an exciting future
And hid from him everything that might seem disappointing
Later, in the boarding house, he called him his wife
Would he guide the rental business
Toni had all the qualities to be a king
On the wrong side of the night
Jonas is clinging to his saxophone
Girlfriend gave her feet on the phone
And he found inspiration in a newspaper story
About a woman who was brought to court
For murdering a newborn child
The judge was a man who greatly valued life
And the penalty was aggravated by everything that happened
On the wrong side of the night
