Festa Imodesta
Chico Buarque
Immodest Party
My people
Were sad and bitter
Invented the drumming
To stop suffering
Hail the pleasure
Hail the pleasure
An immodest party like this
Let's honor
Everyone who lends us their party
Building things to sing
Everything that the hustler pronounces
And the fool stays silent
Everything that is given or not given
Passes through the crack of the basket and life remains
Above the heart
That suffers with reason
The reason that returns from the heart
And above reason is the rhyme
And above the rhyme is the note of the song
Natural flat sharp in the air
Long live those who engage in this occupation
Hail the popular composer
Everything that the hustler pronounces
And the fool stays silent
Everything that is given or not given
Passes through the crack of the basket and life remains
Above the heart
That suffers with reason
The reason that returns from the heart
And above reason is the rhyme
And above the rhyme is the note of the song
Natural flat sharp in the air
Long live those who engage in this occupation
Hail the popular composer
Hail the popular composer
