O Que Será [English translation]

that they are longing for in the alcoves

that they are whispering in verses and ballads

that they are dealing in the dark of the burrows

that is in the heads, run on the mouths

that they are lightning candles in the alleys

that they are speaking aloud in the bars

that they scream in the markets, that for sure

is in the nature, may it be

what have not sure, and never will have

what have no repair and will never have

what have no size

what may it be

that lives in the minds of those lovers

that the most delirant poets sing

that the drunk prophets swear

that is in the romarias of the mutilated*romarias it's like a religious cerimony*

that is in the unhappy'spersons fantasy

that is in the prostitute's everyday

in the outlaws, in the helpless

in all the ways, what may it be

what have no honesty, and will never have

what have no judgement and will never have

what makes no sense

what may it be

that all the warnings will not avoid

because all the smiles will challenge

because all the bells will sound

because all the anthems will devote

and all the little boys will run away

and all the faiths will meet

and the same Eternal Father, that has never been there

looking at that hell, will bless

what have no government and will never have

what have no shame and will never have

what have no healty mind

what it is that happens to me

that rottens me inside

that comes from underneath my skin

and ascend my face and makes me blush

and jump into my eyes betraying me

and push my chest and makes me confess

what there is no way of hide anymore

and what is not right for someone to refuse

and what makes me a begger, makes me beg

what have no size, and will never have

what have no heal, and never will have

what have no recipe and never will have

what may it be

that happens inside of us and it shouldn't

that disobey us, that is a default

that is like an aguardente that not satiate us *aguardente is a drink

that is like to be sick in a party

that not even 10 god laws will conciliate

not all the potions will relief

not all the spells, all the alchemy

that not even all the saints, may it be

what have no rest and will never have

what don't get tired and will never be

what have no limit

what it is that happens to me

that burns me inside, may that happen to me

that disturbs my sleep,may it happen to me

that all the shivers come agitate

that all the burnings come stir up

that all the sweats comes wet me

that all my nervous feelings are praying

what all my organs are claiming

and a terrible fear makes me implore

what have no shame and will never have

what have no government and will never have

what have not healthy mind
