Menino Bicho

I see a brightness in a candle
A certain very special light
To walk alone through the woods
Without fearing the wind that haunts me
To make love to a skinny cow
That doesn't have the strength to get up
I'm an animal, animal boy
I've already been through it all, I've been Barrabas

Is it normal
To live like this
Like an irrational animal
I'm not to blame for being like this
A boy accustomed to being an animal.
