Não quero mais essas tardes mornais, normais
I don't want these dull, ordinary afternoons anymore,
Não quero mais videotape, mormaço, março, abril
I don't want videotape, the heat, March, April anymore,
Eu quero pulgas mil na geral, quero a geral
I want a thousand fleas in the crowd, I want the crowd,
Eu quero ouvir gargalhada geral
I want to hear the laughter of the crowd,
Quero um lugar pra mim, pra mim e pra você
I want a place for me, for me and for you,
Na matinê do Cinema Olympia, do Cinema Olympia
At the matinee of Cinema Olympia, of Cinema Olympia,
Na matinê do Cinema Olympia, do Cinema Olympia
At the matinee of Cinema Olympia, of Cinema Olympia,
Na matinê do Cinema Olympia, do Cinema Olympia
At the matinee of Cinema Olympia, of Cinema Olympia,
Eu quero pulgas mil na geral, eu quero a geral
I want a thousand fleas in the crowd, I want the crowd,
Eu quero ouvir gargalhada geral, quero a geral
I want to hear the laughter of the crowd, I want the crowd
Quero um lugar pra mim, pra mim e pra você
