Fui Às Sortes E Safei-me
João Gil
I Went to the Lottery and Got Away
I went to the lottery and got away
straight as an arrow
I don't understand that practice
of doing everything so upright
there are things that I know
that can only be done bent
They inspected me
they took everything seriously
they even saw my chest
and a little further down
each in their turn
and just as they came into the world
In the end, later in the evening
they gave me a stamped paper
with the result on it
it was of no use to me
I went to the lottery and got away
straight as an arrow
