Menino
Elis Regina
Boy
Who is silent about your body
Consent to your death
Carved with iron and fire
In the depths of the cut
That the bullet grazed the chest
Whoever remains silent dies with you
More dead than you are now
Clock on the square floor
Knocking, signaling the time
That anger traced
In the fire repeating
The shine of your hair
Whoever screams lives with you
