Alegria, Alegria

Walking against the wind
Without scarf and without document
In the sun of almost December
I go

The Sun breaks down into crimes
Spaceships, guerrillas
In beautiful cardinals
I go

In faces of presidents
In great kisses of love
In teeth, legs, flags
Bomb and Brigitte Bardot

The Sun on the newsstands
Fills me with joy and laziness
Who reads so much news?
I go

Between pictures and names
Eyes full of colors
The chest full of vain loves

I go
Why not? Why not?

She thinks about marriage
And I never went to school again
Without scarf and without document
I go

I drink a Coca-Cola
She thinks about marriage
And a song comforts me
I go

Between pictures and names
No books and no rifle
No hunger, no phone
In the heart of Brazil

She doesn't even know, I even thought
In singing on television
The sun is so beautiful
I go

Without scarf, without document
Nothing in your pocket or hands
I want to keep living, love

I go
Why not? Why not?
Why not? Why not?
Why not? Why not?
