Eu beu [English translation]

I drink,

A little, little by little, up until

I can't hold my head up on my shoulders and I will drink

Up until I find out who can tell me

How much I should drink to feel just right.

First verse:

As I slowly try to straighten up

My knees fall by my chest

I wasn't ware that when you get drunk

You suddenly become an acrobat.

May everyone sit like i sat,

May everyone see what I saw

May everyone oil their throats

As I have carefully oiled mine plentifully.

I hold on to everything in the bar

But mostly to the glass.

I still manage to pour

Even though I am almost asleep;

But if I'm not sleeping, that means

That I'm still awake and that out there, it's still today

I can even stand on one leg

On one hand, as long as I'm on the pitcher

Chorus:

But I keep drinking...

I drink little by little, up until

I can't hold my head up on my shoulders and I will drink

Up until I find out who can tell me

How much I should drink to feel just right.

Second verse:

How interesting, everyone's watching me

As I teach my right hand

To reach my chest pocket.

It's true that the more I drink, the more

I am tempted to smoke, I smoke, and then again,

After I smoke, I start drinking more.

I don't know how

All this vodka and liqueur manages to fit in

And I don't know why everyone's watching

As if I had put it on their tab

But I pretend I don't see anything

And that i don't know they notice me

And when i will be like them

I will be like them too.

Chorus:

But now I keep drinking...

I drink little by little, up until

I can't hold my head up on my shoulders and I will drink

Up until I find out who can tell me

How much I should drink to feel just right.

Third verse:

I don't know what "good" means to others,

But I know:

When i drink what I want, eat what i want,

I sleep with whoever I want and I am alive.

And if anyone were to tell me

How it could be better

I will leave everything, I will go there,

I will come back, I will bring myself too

But I remain, wherever I feel like it

Down where I look out, but see nothing, though everyone can see me

As I drink a little bit, but often and most of all

I drink what I want.

And if I forget to check

What I'm drinking, I'll start again.

But I keep drinking...
