Trocando em Miudos [English translation]

I'll give you the ribbon of Bonfim

It didn't pay off

But I'll keep Pixinginha's record, yes?

The rest is yours

In other words*, you can keep

The remnants of everything they call home

The shadows of everything we were

The love stains in our sheets

Our best memories

That hope that everything will work out

Forget about it

That wedding band, you can pawn

Or melt

But I must say I won't give you

The great pleasure of seeing me cry

Nor will I charge you for your damage

My chest so torn

By the way

Accept some help from your future lover

For the rent

Return the Neruda that you took from me

And never read

I slam the gate without fanfare

I take the ID

A last shot, a lot of missing

And the slight feeling of 'good riddance'

* "Trocando em miúdos" idiom: explain in detail; expose clearly; in other words.
