Passeio dos Prodígios
Jorge Palma
Prodigies' Walk
Let's count the weapons
You and I, arm in arm
On this half-deserted road
We don't know how long
The truces will last
There are victories and defeats
Pointed out in silence
In the imaginary diary
Where we stack the reasons to fight
I reprimand my ghosts
At every corner turned
For scaring away innocence
How many times I hated you
Out of fear of loving you
I see the bottom of the bottle
Light up another cigarette
Everything serves as an ashtray
When the gods play
It's to hurt
Let's deceive time
Jump on the first train
That departs from the nearest station
Why make plans
When everything goes wrong?
Maybe by miracle
We'll outsmart the gods
Between chaos and conflict
Will and disorder
We can't see far ahead
And we always run the risk
Of going too far
We are mere passersby
In the prodigies' walk
We are just survivors
With fake stamps on our credentials
Let's deceive time
Jump on the first train
That departs from the nearest station
Why make plans
When everything goes wrong?
Maybe by miracle
We'll outsmart the gods
Why make plans
When everything goes wrong?
Maybe by miracle
We'll outsmart the gods
We'll outsmart the gods
