Lyrics
No dia da comunhão solene
Fui de camisa engomada
Calças de terilene
E a garganta apertada
O velho alcino barbeiro
Levou-me o cabelo à faca
Fez-me um corte à francesa
Com cheirinho a talco e laca
Que domingo deprimente
Eu ali de fato e laço
A sorrir para o retrato
Com cartilha e fita no braço
O retrato que aqui vedes
Na cómoda da minha avó
Sou eu, sou eu No dia da comunhão solene
O meu pai com o seu olhar
A ralhar na catedral
Não fosse eu destoar
E manchar o ritual
Com medo de fazer errado
Concentrei-me até ao fim
Para não trair o ar enlevado
Que a família tinha por mim
Mas quando tudo acabou
Corri a casa disparado
E ao vestir a velha roupa
Fiquei logo confortado
O retrato que aqui vedes
Na cómoda da minha avó
Sou eu, sou eu No dia da comunhão solene
Lyrics translation
On the day of solemn communion
I was in a starched shirt.
Terylene pants
And the throat tight
The old alcino Barber
Took my hair to the knife
He made me a French cut.
With a smell of talc and lacquer
What a depressing Sunday
I there in suit and tie
Smiling at the portrait
With primer and ribbon on the arm
The portrait you see here
In my grandmother's dresser
It's me, it's me on the day of solemn communion
My dad with his look
Railing in the cathedral
Were it not for me to untie
And smear the ritual
Afraid to do wrong
I focused to the end
So as not to betray the air taken away
That the family had for me
But when it's all over
I ran home shot
And when wearing the old clothes
I was soon comforted
The portrait you see here
In my grandmother's dresser
It's me, it's me on the day of solemn communion
