Capitão Gancho [English translation]

If it weren't for those suitcases full of memories

Or that story from more than a year ago

If it weren't for the damages, it wouldn’t be me

If it weren't for my aunts spoiling me all the time

Or if I was born a boy and people loved me more

If it hadn't gone so wrong, it wouldn’t be me

If the fact is that I'm such an unpleasant person to you

I don’t want to be annoying, but I’ll be honest

I don’t know what could you possibly have against me

You can try for hours to make me feel guilty

But it won’t work

Since it was the rest of my entire life that turned me into this

If it weren’t the “ouchs”

or the pain

And this particular talent of recalling everything like a recorder

If it wasn’t for God playing the writer

If it weren't for the Mickey and the Tuesdays and the panda bears

And the second floor of the first house I lived in

From where it was possible to get to the hill through the balcony

If it weren’t the hunger and these children

and this dog and Sancho Panza

If it weren’t for Koni and the Captain Hook, it wouldn’t be me
