Perto do Fogo [English translation]

Close to the fire

As the hippies were

Close to the fire

As it was done in the Middle Ages

I want to burn my weed

I want to be close to the fire

When it all explodes

But nothing will explode

The men will be looking at each other

Saying: "The moment is near"

2000, yeah, the year 2000

And nothing will change

And nothing will change

Close to the fire

I wish I were close to the fire

In the navel of a hurricane

And bearing a hawk on my chest

Close to the fire

I wish I were close to the fire

In the navel of a hurricane

And bearing a hawk on my chest

In the heart of the city

Defending freedom

I want to be a flower

In your fiery hair

I want to have the power

I want to be close to the fire

Close to the fire

As the hippies were

Close to the fire

As it was done in the Middle Ages

I want to burn my weed

I want to be close to the fire

When it all explodes

But nothing will explode

The guys will be saying

"The moment is near"

The year 2000, and the year 2020

And it all will be the same

And it all will be the same

Close to the fire

I wish I were close to the fire

In the navel of a hurricane

And bearing a hawk on my chest

Close to the fire

I wish I were close to the fire

In the navel of a hurricane

And bearing a hawk on my chest
