Baader-Meinhof Blues Lyrics in English Legião Urbana
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Baader-Meinhof Blues by Legião Urbana from Portuguese to English.
A violência é tão fascinante
Violence is so fascinating
E nossas vidas são tão normais
And our lives are so normal
E você passa de noite e sempre vê
And you walk by at night and always see
Apartamentos acesos
Apartments with lights on
Tudo parece ser tão real
Everything seems to be so real
Mas você viu esse filme também
But you saw this movie too
Andando nas ruas
Walking in the streets
Pensei que podia ouvir
I thought I could hear
Alguém me chamando
Someone calling me
Dizendo meu nome
Saying my name
Já estou cheio de me sentir vazio
I'm already fed up with feeling empty
Meu corpo é quente e estou sentindo frio
My body is warm and I'm feeling cold
Todo mundo sabe e ninguém quer mais saber
Everybody knows and nobody wants to know anymore
Afinal, amar ao próximo é tão démodé
After all, loving your neighbor is so old-fashioned
E esta justiça desafinada
And this out-of-tune justice
É tão humana e tão errada
Is so human and so wrong
Nós assistimos televisão também
We watch television too
Qual é a diferença?
What's the difference?
Não estatize meus sentimentos
Don't nationalize my feelings
Pra seu governo
For your government
O meu estado é independente
My state is independent
Já estou cheio de me sentir vazio
I'm already fed up with feeling empty
Meu corpo é quente e estou sentindo frio
My body is warm and I'm feeling cold
Todo mundo sabe e ninguém quer mais saber
Everybody knows and nobody wants to know anymore
Afinal, amar ao próximo é tão démodé
After all, loving your neighbor is so old-fashioned

Did you like this lyrics translation?
démodé — outdated / old-fashioned
Démodé is a French loanword in Portuguese, meaning "outdated" or "old-fashioned." It's an interesting choice because it stands out in the lyrics, adding a touch of sophistication and irony.
In the song, the line "Afinal, amar ao próximo é tão démodé" (After all, loving your neighbor is so démodé) uses this word to sarcastically comment on the perceived decline of empathy and compassion in modern society, suggesting that such values are seen as antiquated.
