O Bêbado e a Equilibrista

Caía a tarde feito um viadutoE um bêbado trajando luto me lembrou CarlitosA lua tal qual a dona do bordelpedia a cada estrela fria um brilho de aluguel

E nuvens lá no mata-borrão do céuchupavam manchas torturadas, que sufoco loucoO bêbado com chapéu coco fazia irreverências milprá noite do Bra...sil, meu Brasilque sonha com a volta do irmão do Henfilcom tanta gente que partiu num rabo de foguete

Chora a nossa pátria mãe gentilChoram marias e clarisses no solo do BrasilMas sei que uma dor assim pungente não há de ser inutilmenteA esperança dança na corda bamba de sombrinhaE em cada passo dessa linha pode se machucarAzar, a esperança equilibristasabe que o show de todo artistatem que continuar

The Drunk and the Tightrope Walker

Evening fell like a bridgeA drunk wearing a funeral suit reminded me of Chaplin’s trampThe moon, like a brothel madambegged from each cold star a rented shine

And clouds, up there in the blotting paper of the skysucked on tortured stains, what crazy agonyThe drunk wearing a bowler hat was being irreverentfor Brazil’s night, my Brazilis dreaming of the return of Henfil’s brotherof so many people who left on the tail of a rocket

Our gentle mother country is cryingMarias and Clarices are crying on Brazil’s soilBut I know that pain this sharp won’t be in vainHope dances on the tightrope with an umbrellaAnd with each step on this rope you can hurt yourselfBad luck, the balancing hopeknows that each artist’s showmust go on
