These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Quero ficar no teu corpo como tatuagem
I want to stay on your body as a tattoo
Que é pra te dar coragem pra seguir viagem
Which is to give you the courage to go on the road
Quando a oite vem
When the oite comes
E também pra me perpetuar em tua escrava
And also to perpetuate me in your slave
Que você pega, esfrega, nega, mas não lava
That you take, rub, deny, but do not wash
Eu quero brincar no teu corpo feito bailarina
I want to play in your body like a ballerina
Que logo te alucina, salta e te ilumina
That soon hallucinates you, jumps and enlightens you
Quando a noite vem
When night comes
E nos músculos exaustos do teu braco
And in the exhausted muscles of your arm
Repousar frouxa,murcha, farta, morta de cansaco
Rest loose, withered, fed up, dead cansaco
Eu quero pesar feito cruz nas tuas costas
I want to weigh like a cross on your back
Que te retalha em postas, mas no fundo gostas
That shreds you in posts, but deep down you like it
Quando a noite vem
When night comes
Eu quero ser a cicatriz risonha e corrosiva
I want to be the laughing, corrosive scar
Marcada a frio, ferro e fogo em carne viva
Marked by cold, iron and fire in living flesh
Coracões de mãe, arpões, sereias e serpentes
Mother's heart, arposes, mermaids and snakes
Que te rabiscam o corpo todo mas não sentes
That scribbles your whole body but you don't feel it
