Sonhei que era uma rosa
I dreamt it was a rose
Feminil e delicada
Feminil and delicate
Acordei viril
I woke up virile
Musculosa e inadequada
Muscular and inadequate
Sonhei que era uma voz
I dreamt it was a voice
A propor belas falas
Proposing beautiful lines
Não a rudez que tolhe
Not the roar that you're
Em prosa que não calha
In prose that does not trough
No andar
On the floor
No pensar
In thinking
No amar
In loving
Um eterno mal estar
An eternal malaise
Pra quê fui o amor inventar
Why was love inventing
Sou aquela que se entrosa
I'm the one who's getting into
Com todos os meninos
With all the boys
Vigorosa e desprendida
Vigorous and detached
Nas bandas da vida
In the bands of life
Países não me explicam
Countries don't explain it to me
Parentes não me abrigam
Relatives don't shelter me
Poetas me perfuram
Poets pierce me
E palavras me penetram
And words penetrate me
No andar
On the floor
No olhar
In the look
No tocar
No touching
Um eterno desejar
An eternal desire
Pra quê fui o amor revirar
What was love for turning
No feminino tímida
In the shy female
No masculino íntima
In the intimate male
Sou de improviso lúbrica
I'm of lucid improvisation
De propósito rústica
Rustic purpose
