Espelho Cristalino [English translation]

This skyless, horizonless street

Was a river of crystalline waters

Green sierra soaked by fog

Water spring was bleeding from its source

My brilliant studded ring

Are the eyes of Captain Corisco

It is the light that lights my work

In this jungle of steel and antennas

Hummingbird, I'm crying about your feathers

Melted on the asphalts unwisdom

But

I have my crystalline mirror

That a baiana* sent me from Maceio

It has a light that enlighten me

At noon lightens sunlight

That gives me the poison and courage

To turn this immense carousel

Float and be paralyzing gas

And to know that the city is made of paper

To have the light of the past and present

To travel through the paths of heaven

To harvest three twinkling stars

And pin them on the flap of my hat

I will clear the horizon blackness

It's so bright the stone on my ring
