Depois Do Começo Lyrics in English Legião Urbana
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Depois Do Começo by Legião Urbana from Portuguese to English.
Vamos deixar as janelas abertas
Let's leave the windows open
E deixar o equilíbrio ir embora
And let the balance go away
Cair como um saxofone na calçada
Fall like a saxophone on the sidewalk
Amarrar um fio de cobre no pescoço
Tie a copper wire around the neck
Acender o intervalo pelo filtro
Light the interval through the filter
Usar um extintor como lençol
Use a fire extinguisher as a sheet
Jogar polo aquático na cama
Play water polo in bed
Ficar deslizando pelo teto
Keep sliding across the ceiling
Da nossa casa cega e medieval
Of our blind and medieval house
Cantar canções em línguas estranhas
Sing songs in strange languages
Retalhar as cortinas desarmadas
Shred the unarmed curtains
Com a faca surda que a fé sujou
With the deaf knife that faith stained
Desarmar os brinquedos indecentes
Disarm the indecent toys
E a indecência pura dos retratos no salão
And the pure indecency of the portraits in the hall
Vamos beber livros e mastigar tapetes
Let's drink books and chew rugs
Catar pontas de cigarros nas paredes
Pick up cigarette butts on the walls
Abrir a geladeira e deixar o vento sair
Open the refrigerator and let the wind out
Cuspir um dia qualquer no futuro
Spit any day into the future
De quem já desapareceu
Of those who have already disappeared
Deus, Deus, somos todos ateus
God, God, we are all atheists
Vamos cortar os cabelos do príncipe
Let's cut the prince's hair
E entregá-los a um deus plebeu
And give them to a plebeian god
E depois do começo
And after the beginning
O que vier vai começar a ser o fim
Whatever comes will start to be the end
E depois do começo
And after the beginning
O que vier vai começar a ser o fim
Whatever comes will start to be the end
E depois do começo
And after the beginning
O que vier vai começar a ser o fim
Whatever comes will start to be the end
E depois do começo
And after the beginning
O que vier vai começar a ser
Whatever comes will start to be

Did you like this lyrics translation?
retalhar — to shred / to cut into pieces
Retalhar means 'to shred' or 'to cut into pieces'. It's a strong, evocative verb that suggests a deliberate and somewhat violent act of destruction.
In the context of the song, the lyrics "Retalhar as cortinas desarmadas / Com a faca surda que a fé sujou" (Shred the unarmed curtains / With the dull knife that faith stained) paint a surreal and rebellious picture. It's not a word you hear every day, making it memorable and intriguing, hinting at the song's deeper, more philosophical themes of deconstruction and questioning.
