1977 [English translation]

1970, 1970

1970, 1970

I was born one day in June

in the year '77

Planet Mercury

and the year of the snake

without a patent

tattooed and on my forehead

in my mother's stomach

marked the next phase

It makes me cry

without anesthesia on the stretcher

My dad only said it's Ana Maria

If it would be the first cry

that I would try

burning the wounds

and giving myself the drums

I used to be then like an open book

but I read the small print on the text,

like an architect

constructing each effect

correct, incorrect, I know how to learn everything regarding

knowing that some people

want damage

step up

take time, take a year

with my teddy looking at the everyday.

drawings transformed

and the winter in great summer

Papa gave me, with my insistence,

a game, it was about blame and [receiving?]

But in the [cartu] they made competence

and it was when i felt my first impotence

1970 shhh

1970 shhh

1970 shhh

1977 don't tell me no

That one foresees

all that changes, that would one would do differently

The year in which the serpent was born shhh (bis)

My adolescence

was a strange stage

The body is a drum set

and the head, a guitar

The orchestra [narronato]

nothing broken for the stare

of a girl who only sizes swords

hormone shot

about the population without a shape

in which the seasons change

Roads on crossroads

Each one of which is her home

She prepared the bait

The sacred cursed

looking pissed

My line, the truth

never searched for her seat

My search was a mere

process of pure battery

Pupil of the poet

that marked our spit

in the range that looked to the exit

the military parade in monotone step

polychromatic colors

uniforms of little tone

Detonate my question

The voice, if it sounded or not

My first rhyme that sounded

and wrapped me up

For me, my search wasn't a matter of scene

It was something necessary

That already marked my failure

So everything

more than necessary

Was when I understood

that everyone wants to be a pirate

1970 shhh

1970 shhh

1970 shhh

1977 don't tell me no

That one foresees

all that changes, that would one would do differently

The year in which the serpent was born shhh (bis)
