Almanaque

Oh girl, go see in this almanac
How all this began
Tell me who marked the tick-tock
And the hourglass of time raced
If it sucked from who knows what teat
The first calf that bellowed
Tell me, tell me
Answer me, please
Where does my love go
When love ends

Who suffered in the sun all his life
How did the soft spot not crack
Tell me, tell me
Who covered this sun with a sieve
And who was it that pierced the sieve
Tell me, tell me, tell me, pierced

Who painted the Brazilian flag
That had so many colored pencils
Tell me, tell me
Answer me please
Where does my love go
When love ends

Tell me who made the first roof
That the project did not collapse
Who was that bricklayer
That architect
And the brave first inhabitant
Tell me, tell me, the inhabitant

Tell me who invented illiteracy
And taught the alphabet to the teacher
Tell me, tell me
Answer me please
Where does my love go
When love ends

Who knows the sign of the devil
The ascendant of God our Lord
Our Lord
Who did not patent the detonator
Explode in the inventor's drawer
Tell me, tell me inventor

Who was at the wheel of the planet
That my continent overturned
Answer me please
Where does my love go
When love ends

See if this girl is in the almanac
How does a great love end
Tell me, tell me

If it's worth taking an aspirin
Or if that pain hits the edge
Tell me, tell me, tell me, that pain

If it's raining fine all year
Or if it's like an elevator falling
Answer me please
For what everything began
When everything ends
