Cérebro Eletrônico [English translation]

The electronic brain does everything

Does almost everything

Does almost everything

But he is mute

The electronic brain commands

Orders and rescinds

He is the one who has the word

But he doesn't walk

Only I can think

If God exists

Only I

Only I can cry

When I'm sad

Only I

Me, here with my buttons

Made of flesh and bone

I speak and listen

I think and I'm capable

I'm capable of deciding

Whether I live or die because

Because I'm alive

Really really alive and I know

That no electronic brain can aid me

On my inevitable road to death

Because I'm alive

Really really alive and I know

That death is our prime impulse and I know

That no electronic brain can aid me

With its iron buttons and glass eyes
