Panis et Circenses [English translation]

Laiê! Laiê! Laiê! Laiê!

Laiê! Laiê! Laiê! Laiê

Good! Good! Good!

Uhuhuuuuu! Uhuhuuuuu!

Good! Good! Good!

Uhuhuuuuu! Uhuhuuuuu!...

I wanted to sing

My sun-illuminated song

I let go of the fabrics

On the flagpoles on the air

I released the tigers

And the lions at the yards

But those people at the dining room

Are occupied with borning and dying

I had it made

A dagger of pure light steel

To kill my loved one and I did kill

Five o'clock at Central Avenue

But those people at the dining room

Are occupied with borning and dying

I had it planted

Leaves of dreams on the gardens of the manor

The leaves also know how to seek for the Sun

And the roots, seek, seek, seek

But those people from the dining room

These people from the dining room

Are the people from the dining room

But those people from the dining room

Are occupied with borning and dying

But those people from the dining room

But those people from the dining room

But those people from the dining room

But those people from the dining room

But those people from the dining room

These people from the dining room

Are the people from the dining room

But those people from the dining room

Are occupied with borning and dying
