Quando o Galo Cantou
Caetano Veloso
When the Rooster Crowed
When the rooster crowed
I was still clinging to your foot and hand
A nail in the neck, you already crazy
With so much joy of the body, the soul
And the spirit sound
I thought we wouldn't unglue anymore
What did I do to deserve this peace
That sex brings?
The clock stopped,
But the sun penetrated between the Brazilian hairs
That define your leg and our eternal life,
You are dismayed and say
'no, no one can be so happy'
I wanted to stop
In this moment of never stopping
We established this place
Nothing will come
Let that point shine in the South Atlantic,
All blue
Let that chant enter the sun,
In the naked sky
Let the romantic pagoda sound
Let time go on,
But let's stay here, let the rooster sing
When the rooster crowed
I was still clinging to your foot and hand
A nail in the neck, you already crazy
With so much joy of the body, the soul
And the spirit sound
I thought we wouldn't unglue anymore
What did I do to deserve this peace
That sex brings?
The clock stopped,
But the sun penetrated between the Brazilian hairs
That define your leg and our eternal life,
You are dismayed and say
'no, no one can be so happy'
I wanted to stop
In this moment of never stopping
We established this place
Nothing will come
Let that point shine in the South Atlantic,
All blue
Let that chant enter the sun,
In the naked sky
Let the romantic pagoda sound
Let time go on,
But let's stay here, let the rooster sing
