Noite De Hotel Lyrics in English Caetano Veloso

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Noite De Hotel by Caetano Veloso from Portuguese to English.
Noite de hotel
Hotel night
A antena parabólica só capta videoclipes
The satellite dish only captures video clips
Diluição em água poluída
Dilution in polluted water
E a poluição é química e não orgânica
And pollution is chemical and not organic
Do sangue do poeta
Of the poet's blood
Cantilena diabólica
diabolical chant
Mímica pateta
Goofy mime
Noite de hotel
Hotel night
E a presença satânica é a de um diabo morto
And the satanic presence is that of a dead devil
Em que não reconheço o anjo torto de Carlos
In which I don't recognize Carlos' crooked angel
Nem o outro, só fúria e alegria
Not the other, just fury and joy
Pra quem titia Jagger pedia simpatia
To whom Aunt Jagger asked for sympathy
Noite de hotel
Hotel night
Ódio a Graham Bell
Hatred of Graham Bell
E à telefonia
And on the phone
Chamada transatlântica
Transatlantic call
Não sei o que dizer
I do not know what to say
A essa mulher
To this woman
Potente e iluminada
Powerful and illuminated
Que sabe me explicar perfeitamente
Who knows how to explain it to me perfectly
E não me entende
And you don't understand me
E não me entende nada
And you don't understand me at all
Noite de hotel
Hotel night
Estou a zero, sempre o grande otário
I'm at zero, always the big sucker
E nunca o ato mero de compor uma canção
And never the mere act of composing a song
Pra mim foi tão desesperadamente necessário
For me it was so desperately needed
Noite de hotel
Hotel night
Ódio a Graham Bell
Hatred of Graham Bell
E à telefonia
And on the phone
Chamada transatlântica
Transatlantic call
Não sei o que dizer
I do not know what to say
A essa mulher
To this woman
Potente e iluminada
Powerful and illuminated
Que sabe me explicar perfeitamente
Who knows how to explain it to me perfectly
E não me entende
And you don't understand me
E não me entende nada
And you don't understand me at all
Noite de hotel
Hotel night
Estou a zero, sempre o grande otário
I'm at zero, always the big sucker
E nunca o ato mero de compor uma canção
And never the mere act of composing a song
Pra mim foi tão desesperadamente necessário
For me it was so desperately needed
