These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Quero o silêncio do arco íris
I want the silence of the rainbow
Quero a alquímia das estações
I want the alkymia of the stations
Quero as vogais todas abertas
I want the vowels all open
Quero ver partir os barcos
I want to see the boats break
Prenhos de interrogações
Questions of questions
Amo o teu riso prateado
I love your silver laugh
Como se a lua fosse tua
As if the moon were yours
Vou pendurar-me nos teus laços
I'm going to hang on your bows
Vou rasgar o teu vestido
I'm going to rip your dress off
Eu quero ver-te nua
I want to see you naked
Vivemos no tempo dos assassinos
We live in the time of murderers
Tempo de todos os hinos
Time of all hymns
Ouvimos dobrar os sinos
We heard the bells bend
Quem mais jura
Who else swears
É quem mais mente
It's who's the most minded
Vou arquitectar destinos
I'm going to archive destinations
Sou praticamente demente...
I'm practically demented..
Eu quero ver-te alucinado
I want to see you hallucinated
Eu quero ver-te sem sentido
I want to see you senseless
Sem passado e sem memória
No past and no memory
Quero-te aqui no presente
I want you here in the present
Eternamente colorido
Eternally colored
Porque abomino o trabalho
Because I abominate the work
Se trabalhasse estava em greve
If I worked, I'd be on strike
Se isto não te disser tudo
If this doesn't tell you everything
Arranja-me um momento mudo
Get me a dumb moment
O menos possível breve
As little as possible soon
Vivemos o tempo dos assassinos
We live the time of the murderers
Tempo de todos os hinos
Time of all hymns
Ouvimos dobrar os sinos
We heard the bells bend
Quem mais jura
Who else swears
É quem mais mente
It's who's the most minded
Vou arquitectar destinos
I'm going to archive destinations
Sou praticamente demente...
I'm practically demented..
Amo o teu riso prateado
I love your silver laugh
Como se o sol só fosse teu
As if the sun were only yours
Vou pendurar-me no teu laço
I'm going to hang on your bow
Amachucar-te essa camisa
Hurt that shirt
Como se tu fosses eu
Like you're me
Como se tu fosses eu
Like you're me
Como se tu fosses eu
Like you're me
