Meu Amor, Meu Bem, Me Ame [English translation]

My love, my darling, love me

Don't go to Miami

My love, my darling, want me

I'm at the rock bottom

I'm in a hole

As weak as a helmeted guineafowl1

My love, my love commands

Don't go to Luanda

Don't go to Aruba

If I go down

Climb to my neck

Make it your lunch

Nibble the bones and leave the meat

My love, my darling

Notice my hair

Notice my ironed suit

Notice my shoes

I'm a dragon with hair

I spit fire

Don't hide your game

Or I'll shout at the moment

My love, my darling take me

In an ultralight plane

In an aeroplane, in a truck

In a zeppelin

My love, my darling, quench, satisfy

My vampire's hunger

Or I'll go mad

I become a Hare Krishna

Hare Hare Hare

Don't desert me

Or I'll dispair

My love, my darling, wait for me

Until the engine stops running

Until Mars tear us apart

My love is too much

Never too less

It doesn't need

A rubber johnny2

Listen what I'm going to say

My darling, listen to me

What it needs

Is a straightjacket

My love, my darling, quench, satisfy

My vampire's hunger

Or I'll go mad

I become a Hare Krishna

Hare Hare Hare

Don't desert me

Or I'll dispair

My love, my darling, wait for me

Until the engine stops running

Until Mars tear us apart

My love is too much

Never too less

It doesn't need

A rubber johnny

Listen what I'm going to say

My darling, listen to me

What it needs

Is a straightjacket

You are my heal

If anyone can be healed

Do you want me

To commit something crazy?

If you want me

Commit it yourself

1. It's said in Brazil that the chirping of these animals sounds like "I'm weak, I'm weak..."2. I tried to keep the game of words: in Portuguese, a fancy name for a condom is "camisa-de-vênus", literally "Venus shirt".
