Caso Comum de Trânsito

Belchior Belchior

Common Traffic Case

It's been a while since anyone sings a song speaking easily
Clearly-easy, clearly about things that happen every day
In our time and place
You keep losing sleep
Pretending to be the owner of words
To be the voice of what is new
And life, always new, happening by surprise
Falling like a stone on the people

In the afternoon
When I return from work
Master Joaquim asks me like this
How are things going?
How are things going?
How are things going, boy?

And I answer like this
My girlfriend went back to the north
She almost went crazy and got a very good job
My best friend was run over, coming back home
Common traffic case
Common traffic case
Common traffic case

Through geography
I learned that there is, in the world, a place
Where a young man like me can love and be happy
I looked for a way: Plane, ship
There was no route to that country

And that poet, dark and Latin
Who, in verses of blood, wrote about life and love
Where is he?
Nobody knows about him
Did he take a trip?
No, he disappeared

Lie down beside me
Give me your kiss
All night my body will be yours
They come to get me in the open morning
The surest proof that it didn't dawn
It didn't dawn, girl
It didn't dawn yet
