A tua presença
Your presence
Entra pelos sete buracos da minha cabeça
Enters through the seven holes in my head
A tua presença
Your presence
Pelos olhos, boca, narinas e orelhas
Through my eyes, mouth, nostrils, and ears
A tua presença
Your presence
Paralisa meu momento em que tudo começa
Paralyzes my moment when everything begins
A tua presença
Your presence
Desintegra e atualiza a minha presença
Disintegrates and updates my presence
A tua presença
Your presence
Envolve meu tronco, meus braços e pernas
Wraps around my torso, my arms, and legs
A tua presença
Your presence
É branca, verde, vermelha, azul e amarela
Is white, green, red, blue, and yellow
A tua presença
Your presence
É negra, negra, negra
Is black, black, black
Negra, negra, negra
Black, black, black
Negra, negra, negra
Black, black, black
A tua presença
Your presence
Transborda pelas portas e pelas janelas
Overflows through the doors and the windows
A tua presença
Your presence
Silencia os automóveis e as motocicletas
Silences the cars and the motorcycles
A tua presença
Your presence
Se espalha no campo derrubando as cercas
Spreads across the field, breaking down the fences
A tua presença
Your presence
Coagula o jorro da noite sangrenta
Coagulates the gushing of the bloody night
A tua presença
Your presence
É a coisa mais bonita em toda a natureza
Is the most beautiful thing in all of nature
A tua presença
Your presence
Mantém sempre teso o arco da promessa
Always keeps the bow of promise taut
A tua presença
Your presence
Morena, morena, morena
Brunette, brunette, brunette
Morena, morena, morena
Brunette, brunette, brunette
Morena
Brunette
