O Nome da Cidade
Caetano Veloso
The City's Name
Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw!
Where does this all begin?
The unstoppable current
The journey of a trip
Another trip that never ends
I arrived at the city's name
Not the city itself, dense
River that is not a river: images
This city runs through me
Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw!
Does everything interest me?
Everything is too much and so many
What were my hopes?
What is a threat and what is a promise?
Streets flying over streets
Too many letters, all lying
The Redeemer, how awful! How beautiful!
Bad boys, naked women
Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw!
People arrive without arriving
There is no skein, just the thread
Is this river more sea than the sea
For my own river?
Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw! Yeehaw!
Backcountry, backcountry! Yeehaw! Sea!
