Translation of O Treco from Portuguese to English
The man knocked on my door and I opened it
Ladies and gentlemen warned of this being
His hat covered his deep eyes
His strange manner was odd to look at
It seemed like he had dead rats in his pocket
His smell of carrion was impossible to inhale
Neither foot, nor head, elegant attire a bit crazy
His voice convinced me to invite him in
He had smooth talk and hunger, knew how to dialogue
But he didn't say his name, seemed familiar
I saw in his eyes luck, with a minimum touch of bad luck
And a bit of death, bringing from another place
The man knocked on my door and I opened it
He sat with the smell of hell on my couch
He claimed to have the world and in it my house
And with his magic fingers he began to paint
Everything he pointed at danced according to the frevo
Stairs on the ceiling, I fell into this sick man
I heard grandma, even though she's been gone for a while
Vomiting blood, I think I swallowed a nail
I think I swallowed a nail
I think I swallowed a nail
I think I swallowed (argh)
Eyes of the abyss
Tell me who you are
For if you are darkness
I cross my fingers
This is not funny
Go back to hell
Leave my house
Damn thing
('Ta-'ta-rara-rara, tara-tara, 'ta-rara-rara)
The man knocked on my door and I opened it
Ladies and gentlemen warned of this being
His shit smell took over my living room
His strange manner was odd to face
It seemed like he had hell in his body
He looked at my living room and grumbled non-stop
He claimed to be God, but absolute God
He drooled in his suitcase and cried non-stop
He had smooth talk and hunger, knew how to dialogue
But he didn't say his name, seemed familiar
I saw in his eyes luck, with a maximum touch of bad luck
A high degree of death, bringing from another place
God knocked on my door and I opened it
Bringing my son's head as a gift
And he was still crying, like at his birth
And I distanced myself and ran from the torment
And everything he touched danced according to the frevo
Stairs on the ceiling, I collapsed into this sick man
I heard grandma, even though she's been dead for a while
Vomiting blood, I think I swallowed a nail
I think I swallowed a nail
I think I swallowed a nail
I think I swallowed (argh)
Eyes of the abyss
Tell me who you are
For if you are darkness
I cross my fingers
Stop this shit
Go back to hell
Leave my house
Damn thing
Eyes of the abyss
Tell me who you are
For if you are darkness
I cross my fingers
This is not funny
Go back to hell
Leave my house
Damn thing
('Ta-'ta-rara-rara, tara-tara, 'ta-rara-rara)
(Hmm, hmm-hmm-hm-hmm, 'ta-rara-rara)
