Naquele trilho secreto
On that secret trail
Com palavras santo e senha
With holy words and password
Eu fui língua e tu dialecto
I was language and you dialect
Eu fui lume e tu foste lenha
I went to light and you were firewood
Fomos guerras e alianças
We were wars and alliances
Tratados de paz e péssangas
Peace treaties and feet
Fomos sardas pele e tranças
We were twill skin and braids
Popeline seda e ganga
Popeline and denim
Recordo aquele acordo
I remember that agreement
Bem claro e assumido
Very clear and assumed
Eu trepava um eucalipto
I was a eucalyptus
E tu tiravas o vestido
And you took off the dress
Dessa vez tu não cumpriste
This time you didn't comply
E faltaste ao prometido
And you missed the promised
Eu fiquei sentido e triste
I was feeling and sad
Olha que isso não se faz
You don't do that
Disseste que se eu fosse audaz
You said if I was bold
Tu tiravas o vestido
You took off your dress
O prometido é devido
Promise is debt
Rompi eu as minhas calças
I broke my pants
Esfolei mãos e joelhos
I skinned hands and knees
E tu reduziste o acordo
And you narrowed the deal down
A um montão de cacos velhos
To a heap of old shards
Eu que vinha de tão longe
I who came from so far away
Fazia o que tu quisesses
I'd do whatever you wanted
Só para te poder ver nua
Just so I can see you naked
Quero já os almanaques
I want the almanacs now
Do fantasma e do patinhas
From ghost and scroomes
Os falcões e os mandrakes
The hawks and mandrakes
Tão cedo não terás novas minhas
Soon you won't have new ones of mine
