Da janela lateral
Side window
Do quarto de dormir
From the bedroom
Vejo uma igreja, um sinal de glória
I see a church, a sign of glory
Vejo um muro branco
I see a white wall
E um vôo pássaro
And a bird flight
Vejo uma grade e um velho sinal
I see a grid and an old sign
Mensageiro natural
Natural messenger
De coisas naturais
Of natural things
Quando eu falava dessas cores mórbidas
When I spoke of these morbid colors
Quando eu falava desses homens sórdidos
When I spoke of these sordid men
Quando eu falava desse temporal
When I was talking about this storm
Você nao escutou
You didn't hear
Você não quer acreditar
You don't want to believe
Mas isso é tão normal
But that's so normal
Você não quer acreditar
You don't want to believe
Que eu apenas era
That I was just
Cavaleiro marginal
Marginal knight
Lavado em ribeirão
Washed in stream
Cavaleiro negro que viveu de mistérios
Black knight who lived on mysteries
Cavaleiro e senhor
Knight and sir
De casa e árvores
From house and trees
Sem querer descanso, nem dominical
No wanting to rest, no Sunday
Cavaleior marginal
Marginal cavaleior
Conheci as torres e os cemitérios
I met the towers and the cemeteries
Conheci os homens e os seus velórios
I met the men and their wakes
Eu olhava da janela lateral
I looked from the side window
Do quarto de dormir
From the bedroom
