Relógio quebrado
Zico e Zeca
Broken Clock
I will tell a passage
in the life of two brothers
who lived arguing about religion
Zezé, who was the oldest
had his devotion
At bedtime, he would say his prayers
His brother Dorvalino
would talk, laughing
Stop talking to yourself, it won't do you any good
It's better for you to sleep
To wake up in the early hours
I won't lose sleep to listen to nonsense
If you don't believe
I won't force you to believe
But I want to prove to you that there is another world
If I die first
My soul will be saved
I'll surprise you in a way you won't like
One day José left
and told his brother
keep this clock, it's a memento from our grandfather
And they never met again
and the years went by
The broken clock remained on the wall
One night, Dorvalino
woke up very scared
hearing those slow, steady beats
He counted twelve chimes
his body shivered
Midnight was marked on his broken clock
He spent the night nervous
about what happened
Early the next day, he received a telegram
He opened it to see what it was
his body trembled
It said that at midnight his brother José died
