Lyrics
Naquele trilho secreto
Com palavras santo e senha
Eu fui língua e tu dialecto
Eu fui lume e tu foste lenha
Fomos guerras e alianças
Tratados de paz e péssangas
Fomos sardas pele e tranças
Popeline seda e ganga
Recordo aquele acordo
Bem claro e assumido
Eu trepava um eucalipto
E tu tiravas o vestido
Dessa vez tu não cumpriste
E faltaste ao prometido
Eu fiquei sentido e triste
Olha que isso não se faz
Disseste que se eu fosse audaz
Tu tiravas o vestido
O prometido édevido
Rompi eu as minhas calças
Esfolei mãos e joelhos
E tu reduziste o acordo
A um montão de cacos velhos
Eu que vinha de tão longe
(do outro lado da rua)
Fazia o que tu quisesses
Sópara te poder ver nua
Quero jáos almanaques
Do fantasma e do patinhas
Os falcões e os mandrakes
Tão cedo não terás novas minhas
Lyrics translation
On that Secret Trail
With holy words and password
I was language and you dialect
I was light and you were firewood
We were Wars and alliances
Treaties of peace and evil
We were skin freckles and braids
Poplin silk and denim
I remember that agreement
Well clear and assumed
I climbed a eucalyptus
And you took off your dress
This time you did not fulfill
And you missed the promised
I felt and sad
Look that it is not done
You said If I was bold
You took off the dress.
The Promised is due
I broke my pants
I skinned hands and knees
And you cut the deal.
To a pile of old shards
Me who came from so far
(across the street)
I'd do whatever you wanted.
Only so I can see you naked
I want almanacs already
From the ghost and the pawns
The Falcons and the mandrakes
So soon you won't have any news of mine
