No dia da comunhão solene
On the day of solemn communion
Fui de camisa engomada
I went in a starched shirt
Calças de terilene
Terilene pants
E a garganta apertada
And the tight throat
O velho alcino barbeiro
The old alcino barber
Levou-me o cabelo à faca
He took my hair to the knife
Fez-me um corte à francesa
You made me a french cut
Com cheirinho a talco e laca
With the smell of talc and lacquer
Que domingo deprimente
What a depressing Sunday
Eu ali de fato e laço
I there in fact and loop
A sorrir para o retrato
Smiling for portrait
Com cartilha e fita no braço
With primer and tape on arm
O retrato que aqui vedes
The portrait you see here
Na cómoda da minha avó
On my grandmother's dresser
Sou eu, sou eu
It's me, it's me
No dia da comunhão solene
On the day of solemn communion
O meu pai com o seu olhar
My father with your look
A ralhar na catedral
Scolding in cathedral
Não fosse eu destoar
If it wasn't for me to go down
E manchar o ritual
And tarnish the ritual
Com medo de fazer errado
Afraid to do wrong
Concentrei-me até ao fim
I concentrated to the end
Para não trair o ar enlevado
Not to betray the air taken
Que a família tinha por mim
That the family had for me
Mas quando tudo acabou
But when it was all over
Corri a casa disparado
I ran the house fired
E ao vestir a velha roupa
And when wearing the old clothes
Fiquei logo confortado
I was soon comforted
O retrato que aqui vedes
The portrait you see here
Na cómoda da minha avó
On my grandmother's dresser
Sou eu, sou eu
It's me, it's me
No dia da comunhão solene
On the day of solemn communion
