Beatriz [English translation]

Look,

She must be a girl

She must be sad

It must be the opposite

It must be a painting the face of an actress

Is she dancing in the seventh heaven

Does she believe this to be another country

And is she just enlivening her role

And could I get into her life

Look,

She must be made of porcelain,

She must be made of ether

It must be madness,

It must be a screenplay, the home of an actress

Does she live in a skyscraper,

And are the walls made of plaster

And is she crying in a hotel room

And could I get into her life

Yes, take me away forever Beatriz

Teach me how not to walk with my feet on the ground

Because forever is forever always by a whisker

Oh say how many disasters I hold in my hand

Say if it's dangerous for people to be happy

Look,

She must be a star,

She must be a lie

It must be a comedy,

It must be divine the life of an actress

If one day she plummeted from the sky

And if the audience asked for an encore

And if the archangel passed the hat

And if I could get into her life
