Lyrics
Justina e baltazar encontraram-se à beira do rio
Um estava sem calor e o outro mesmo cheio de frio
Passou um cardume de lume que o engalfinhou
Justina e baltazar encontraram-se à beira do rio
A cleia e o montolivo andavam por avinhão
Estavam ambos à espera do próximo avião
Um ia para alexandria, o outro não sabia
Cleia e montolivo andavam por avinhão
No hemisfério do sul, um mosquito deu à asa
E uma criança nasceu sem saber que não tem casa
Um objecto voador bem identificado
Leva cento e tal pessoas de volta ao lar
Há-de lá chegar, hum, há-de lá chegar
Com toda a certeza, há-de lá chegar!
Justina e baltazar, a cleia e o montolivo
Juntaram-se nas docas, beberam alguns digestivos
Alguém tinha à disposição um belo apartemã
Ninguém sabia com quem estava quando chegou a manhã
Ninguém sabia quem era quando chegou a manhã…
Lyrics translation
Justina and baltazar met by the river
One was without heat and the other even full of cold
Passed a school of fire that engalfinhou
Justina and baltazar met by the river
Cleia and montolivo walked through Avignon
They were both waiting for the next plane
One was going to alexandria, the other did not know
Cleia and montolivo walked by Avignon
In the southern hemisphere, a mosquito gave the wing
And a child was born without knowing that he has no home
A well-identified flying object
Takes one hundred and such people back home
It'll be there, um, it'll be there
I'm sure he'll get there!
Justina and baltazar, cleia and montolivo
They gathered at the docks, drank some digestives
Someone had at their disposal a beautiful apartment
No one knew who he was with when the morning came
No one knew who it was when the morning came…
