Vida [English translation]

I was born of love and by midwife

In the same bed as mum.

Through a matter of chromosomes

I was the son that my dad wanted

My old man was the school teacher

My mum the area sergeant.

I was her watercolour sketch

The third and last to arrive

Chorus:

I saw so many moons

That today I no longer know if I am or I was.

So many vaccinations

In order to manage to survive

One morning I learnt to run

Before learning to walk.

A lieutenant came in through the window

And bid us all run away

Brazil were champions in seventy

And on the radio Paul was saying “Hey Jude.”

Pelé's goal in slow motion

And cigars appeared on the menu

{Chorus}

I became acquainted with love with the neighbour

And also some illness.

The doctor prescribed penicillin

Love charged (demanded payment) in loneliness

I was a teacher and I was an undergraduate

Good-for-nothing, cheeky and a dreamer.

While the bastard calendar

Never does you any favours

{Chorus}

I pressed ‘Play’ on my brain one day

In order to see what it was

{

Life

Why will life end?

You see yourself playing hide and seek

And avoiding (lit: turning your back on) questions

Life

Why will life expire?

You should learn to say ‘How are you?’

{First time} And ‘Farewell’ and say…

{Second time} And ‘Farewell’ and shout out…

} x 2

Life

I met two thousand with fireworks

I no longer rent nor suffer from loneliness.

Since birth I now share the illness

Of this syndrome of expiration
