Pastiche [English translation]

What I really like is to write pastiche1

I really like to eat pistachios

In my past life I was a whirling dervish2

This current life of mine is full of mockery

An Angel came to me and said: 'Gauche!'3

Life came and gouache-painted me

I'm dancing with my doll made of pitch

Who's dressed in a beautiful Versace suit

I used to have a chop shop4

During Carnaval I dress like an Apache

I had a minor role in the movie "A Revanche"

I had some scenes with Irene Ravache5

All good horses neigh

Every scoundrel commits a mistake

I had a band but it lacked some punch6

Nobody steps on me, I'm not a doormat

I worked from Sunday to Sunday

Since I'm fancy, I eat sushi and quiches

But when I lived at Largo do Arouche7

All I ate were sandwiches

I got famous by starring trash movies8

Such a hideous life, holy God, oh my!

As usual, I have a dream

I want to be John Malkovich9
