Tatuagem [English translation]

I would like to stay to your body like a tattoo

To then give you courage to keep on going

When the night falls

And also to be kept as your slave

That you grab, grind, refuse, but can't wash

I want to mess up with your body like a ballet dancer

Who soon gets you hooked, bounces and lit you up

When the night falls

And in the weary muscles of your arm

To rest light, faded, full, worn out of tiredness

I want to feel heavy like a cross on your back

That cuts you apart, but deep down you like it

When the night falls

I want to be the grinning and corrupting scar

Marked through cold, iron and fire, in raw flesh

Mothers' hearts, spears, mermaids and serpents

Scribbling all over your body, yet you can' feel it...
