Alegria Alegria [English translation]

Walking against the wind

without handkerchielf, without identity card

Under the sun of a almost december

I go...

The sunlight spreads among crimes

Spaceships, guerillas

And beautiful 'Cardinales'

I'll be...

upon the faces of presidents

in long love kisses

in theeth, legs, flags

Bombs and Brigitte Bardot

The sun shining at the news stands

fills me with joy and lasiness

Who reads so many news in this world?

I go...

Among photos and names

With my eyes, so colorful

And with my heart, full of vain loves

I go

Why not? Why not?

She thinks about marriage

And I've not been to the school for so long.

Without handkerchief, without identity card

I go ...

I drink some coke

She thinks about marriage

And a song consoles me

I go...

Among photos and names

Without books, without gun

Without hunger, without telephone

Into the heart of Brazil

She doesn't know, I even thought

about singing on television

The sun is so beautiful

I go...

Without handkerchief, without identity card

Without anything in my pockets or hands

I want to keep living, my love

I go...

Why not? why not?

Why not? why not?

Why not? why not?

Why not? why not?
