Malandragem [English translation]

Maybe I'm just a little girl still

Waiting for the school bus

all alone

Tired wearing my mid-calf socks

Whispening a pray everywhere I go

Just because I am a bad girl

Maybe the prince became a boring one

who keeps annoying me

Maybe living is not dreaming

I just ask God for

a bit of astuteness/malice

Because I am only a kid

and I don't know the truth

I'm a poet

and I have never learnt to love

I'm a poet

I have never learnt to love

Nosense is not to live the reality

And a whole afternoon still remains for me

I walk the streets

I cash a check

I change the place of a plant

I drive my car

Take some drinks

And I still have time

for singing

I just ask God for

a bit of astuteness/malice

Because I am only a kid

and I don't know the truth

I'm a poet

and I have never learnt to love

I'm a poet

I have never learnt to love
