La Na Terra do Contrário
Padre Zezinho
In the Land of Opposites
Over in the land of opposites the dog goes meow
And the canary barks and the kitten goes woof woof
And things happen like never seen before
Over in the land of opposites, it's in the summer that it gets cold
Where is this land of opposites?
It's on the side that's over here
It's over here on the side that's over there
It's on the side that's over here
It's over here on the side that's over there
Over in the land of opposites the sidewalk is the street
In the morning the sun hides and in the afternoon the moon dies
And things happen that are simply astonishing
Over in the land of opposites, those who go forward go backward
Where is this land of opposites?
It's on the side that's over here
It's over here on the side that's over there
It's on the side that's over here
It's over here on the side that's over there
Over in the land of opposites, traveling isn't complicated
Since the wheels are square, those who travel are the ones who stay
And things happen that children don't even expect
Over in the land of opposites, a square is a sphere
Where is this land of opposites?
It's on the side that's over here
It's over here on the side that's over there
It's on the side that's over here
It's over here on the side that's over there
Over in the land of opposites, children are giants
And children's ears are like those of elephants
And if someone disobeys, believe what I say
A teacher appears and puts the ear in detention
Where is this land of opposites?
It's on the side that's over here
It's over here on the side that's over there
It's on the side that's over here
It's over here on the side that's over there
Over in the land of opposites, believe me
The basements are made of ice cream and the roof is made of pudding
Whoever wants to enter the house doesn't need to push or knock
Just eat the locks because they're made of chocolate
Where is this land of opposites?
It's on the side that's over here
It's over here on the side that's over there
It's on the side that's over here
It's over here on the side that's over there
Over in the land of opposites, it's just as I said
When I was little, I went there, that's why I know
Whoever wants to go there with me just needs to understand
If you're not smart, you won't go there and you won't see
Where is this land of opposites?
It's on the side that's over here
It's over here on the side that's over there
It's on the side that's over here
It's over here on the side that's over there
Over in the land of opposites
