Ouro de Tolo (versión en español)

I should be happy because I have a
Job and I'm a respectable citizen and I earn
Four thousand a month.

I should thank the Lord for being successful
In life as an artist
I should be happy because I managed to buy
A seventy-three model.

I should be joyful and satisfied for living in
Ipanema after having starved for
Two years here in the 'Marvelous City'.

I should be content and proud for having
Finally succeeded in life but I believe that
This is a big lie as dangerous as it is.

I should be happy for having achieved
Everything I wanted but I confess horrified that
I am disappointed because it was so easy
To get it now I wonder, what's next?

I have a lot of things to conquer
And I can't just stand there.

I should be happy for the Lord having
Granted me Sunday to go with the family to the
Zoo to give bananas to the monkeys.

But what a fool I am who sees nothing
Funny in monkeys, beach, car, newspapers, bowling

I find all that hateful
If you look in the mirror you'll feel like a
Huge idiot for knowing that you're a human being, the
Limited being that only uses 10% of your animal brain
And still believes that in doctor, father that
You knew are contributing in their function
Our old social framework.

I don't sit on the throne of an
Apartment with my mouth agape full of
teeth waiting for death to come
Because far from the barbed wire fences that
Separate the fields in the calm ten of my eye that sees
approaches the sound shadow of a flying saucer
