Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Alô, alô Marciano by Elis Regina from Portuguese to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Verse 1
Alô alô marciano
Hello Martian
Aqui quem fala é da terra
Here who speaks is of the earth
Pra variar, estamos em guerra
For once, we're at war
Você não imagina a loucura
You can't imagine the madness
O ser humano tá na maior fissura porque
The human being is in the greatest fissure because
Tá cada vez mais down in the high society
It's getting more and more down in the high society
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
In the high society
In the high society
Verse 2
Alô alô marciano
Hello Martian
A crise tá virando zona
The crisis is becoming an area
Cada um por si todo mundo na lona
Each for himself everyone on canvas
E lá se foi a mordomia
And so much for stewardship
Tem muito rei aí pedindo alforria porque
There's a lot of king out there asking for a lot of money because
Tá cada vez mais down in the high society
It's getting more and more down in the high society
Chorus 1
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
In the high society
In the high society
Verse 3
Alô alô marciano
Hello Martian
A coisa tá ficando ruça
It's getting big
Muita patrulha, muita bagunça
Too much patrol, too much mess
O muro começou a pichar
The wall began to sting
Tem sempre um aiatolá pra atola alá
There's always an ayatollthere to the atoll there
Tá cada vez mais down in the high society
It's getting more and more down in the high society
Chorus 2
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
In the high society
In the high society
Verse 4
Alô alô marciano
Hello Martian
Aqui quem fala é da terra
Here who speaks is of the earth
Pra variar estamos em guerra
For a change we're at war
Você não imagina a loucura
You can't imagine the madness
O ser humano tá na maior fissura porque
The human being is in the greatest fissure because
Tá cada vez mais down in the high society
It's getting more and more down in the high society
Chorus 3
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
In the high society
In the high society
