Alegria, Alegria Lyrics in English Caetano Veloso

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Alegria, Alegria by Caetano Veloso from Portuguese to English.
Caminhando contra o vento
Walking against the wind
Sem lenço e sem documento
Without a handkerchief or document
No sol de quase dezembro
In the almost December sun
Eu vou
I go
O sol se reparte em crimes
The sun divides itself into crimes
Espaçonaves, guerrilhas
Spaceships, guerrillas
Em cardinales bonitas
In beautiful cardinals
Eu vou
I go
Em caras de presidentes
In the faces of presidents
Em grandes beijos de amor
In great kisses of love
Em dentes, pernas, bandeiras
In teeth, legs, flags
Bomba e Brigitte Bardot
Bomb and Brigitte Bardot
O sol nas bancas de revista
The sun on the magazine stands
Me enche de alegria e preguiça
Fills me with joy and laziness
Quem lê tanta notícia
Who reads so much news
Eu vou
I go
Por entre fotos e nomes
Among photos and names
Os olhos cheios de cores
Eyes full of colors
O peito cheio de amores vãos
Heart full of vain loves
Eu vou
I go
Por que não, por que não?
Why not, why not?
Ela pensa em casamento
She thinks about marriage
E eu nunca mais fui à escola
And I never went back to school
Sem lenço e sem documento
Without a handkerchief or document
Eu vou
I go
Eu tomo uma Coca-Cola
I have a Coca-Cola
Ela pensa em casamento
She thinks about marriage
E uma canção me consola
And a song consoles me
Eu vou
I go
Por entre fotos e nomes
Among photos and names
Sem livros e sem fuzil
Without books and without a rifle
Sem fome, sem telefone
Without hunger, without a telephone
No coração do Brasil
In the heart of Brazil
Ela nem sabe, até pensei
She doesn't even know, I even thought
Em cantar na televisão
About singing on television
O sol é tão bonito
The sun is so beautiful
Eu vou
I go
Sem lenço, sem documento
Without a handkerchief, without a document
Nada no bolso ou nas mãos
Nothing in my pocket or in my hands
Eu quero seguir vivendo, amor
I want to keep on living, love
Eu vou
I go
Por que não, por que não?
Why not, why not?
Por que não, por que não?
Why not, why not?
Por que não, por que não?
Why not, why not?
