Juventude Transviada [English translation]

Hand-washing clothes everyday, such an agony

In the split of the threshold, where it was raining

Until the dreaming during the dawn, a lady with no mistakes

A woman shouldn't have faults

I understand the wayward youth

And the luxury aid from a pandeiro 1

Until the dreaming during the dawn, a lady with no mistakes

A woman shouldn't have faults

Each face represents a lie

Birth, life and death, who would have said

Until the dreaming during the dawn, a lady with no mistakes

A woman shouldn't have faults

The today can transform, and what would the youth say

One day you're going to cry, I see clearly the fantasies

1. A type of hand frame drum popular in Brazi.
