A Bagaceira

I did a somersault
Jumped out of the gate
Then I let out my scream
It's now or never!
On the street, I take steps
Tie my shin in a knot
If my foot gets a callus
I jump on one leg
Tell everyone
That I'm not normal
The world may end
I'll play my carnival

I don't want a costume
I'll dress however I can
One day I mess up my face
The next I dress as a woman
To trick hunger
I don't want skewers from the square
I suck on a gellys
And the appetizer is cachaça
I don't feel right
With 'mineral water'
The world may end
I'll play my carnival

With the first sip
I start to scowl
I become a brave drunk
Who can't handle a fight
They called a police van
To put an end to the fun
But it only helps
To arrest me on Wednesday
Mr. Police Officer
Prepare a wooden tea
The world may end
I'll play my carnival

At the end of the mess
My vision darkened
If someone knows my name
Tell me who I am
I'll sleep on the sidewalk
Hugging a dog
For some greasy soul
To take my wallet and hat
And still come out worse
As they won't find a penny
The world may end
I'll play my carnival
