Pegue o cigano e bote perto da mentira
Take the gypsy and dinghy near the lie
E a mentira bote perto do cigano
And the lie dinghy near the gypsy
O alfaiate bote pertinho do pano
The tailor dinghy close to the cloth
E o pano na pele do caipira
And the cloth on the skin of the hillbilly
O topázio encrustado na safira
The topaz encrusted in sapphire
E na mira do fogo dos diamantes
And in the sight of the fire of diamonds
O desejo bote perto dos amantes
Desire to dinghy near lovers
E os instantes no vôo de quem não deu
And the moments on the flight of those who did not give
Pegue o destino e bote perto da viagem
Take the destination and dinghy near the trip
E a viagem bote perto do destino
And the boat trip near the destination
O sacristão bote pertinho do sino
The sachristian dinghy near the bell
E no símbolo a ponte da miragem
And in the symbol the mirage bridge
O valente bote perto da coragem
The brave dinghy near courage
E na margem o lado que não presta
And on the margin the side that sucks
O boêmio bote perto da seresta
The bohemian dinghy near the seresta
E na fresta do olho que não vê
And in the crack of the eye you don't see
Did you know?
