Lyrics
Cansado do movimento
Que percorre a linha recta
Fui ficando mais atento
Ao voo da borboleta
Fui subindo em espiral
Declarando-me estafeta
Entre o corpo do real
E a veia do poeta
Mas ela não se detecta
À vista desarmada
E o sangue que lá corre
Em torrente delicada
É a lágrima perpétua
Sai da ponta da caneta
Vai ao fim da via láctea
E cai no fundo da gaveta
Ai de quem nunca guardou
Um pouco da sua alma
Numa folha secreta
Ai de quem nunca guardou
Um pouco da sua alma
No fundo duma gaveta
Ai de quem nunca injectou
Um pouco da sua mágoa
Na veia do poeta
Lyrics translation
Tired of movement
That runs the straight line
I was getting more attentive
To the flight of the butterfly
I was spiraling up
Declaring myself a stewardess
Between the body of the real
And the vein of the poet
But she does not detect herself
In unarmed view
And the blood that runs there
In delicate torrent
It's the perpetual tear
Exit the pen tip
Go to the end of the Milky Way
And falls into the bottom of the drawer
Woe to those who never saved
A little bit of your soul
On a secret sheet
Woe to those who never saved
A little bit of your soul
In the back of a drawer
Woe to those who never injected
A little bit of your heartache
In the vein of the poet
