“At carnival, you can be whatever you want or, at least, whatever you can stand...”

LYRICS
ENGLISH:

I turned a pirouette
Jumped out of the gate
Then let out my cry:
“Either I do, or don’t, or break!”
On the streets I take a step
That transfixes the shin
If a callus forms on my foot
I’ll jump on one leg
Tell everyone
I’m not normal
The world may be over
But I’ll dance my carnival

I don’t want fantasy
I’ll dress up as I can
One day I dirty my face
Another I’ll be a girl
To fool the hungry
I don’t want a kebab
I’ll lick an ice pop
My appetizer is cachaça
‘Cause I won’t be cool
With mineral water
The world may be over
But I’ll dance my carnival

On my first gulp
I start to get lairy
Become a mighty drunk
Who cannot be contained
They called a van
To put an end to the game
But it’s only fair
To hold me on Wednesday
Mister policeman
Can we wait till then?
The world may be over
But I’ll dance my carnival

By the end of the party
My eyes grow dark
If anyone knows my name
Tell me who I am
I will sleep on the sidewalk
Embracing a dog
Only for an evil soul
To take my cap and wallet
And thus I’ll be damned
‘Cause I ain’t got a buck
The world may be over
But I’ll dance my carnival

PORTUGUESE:

Dei uma piruêta
Pulei do portão pra for a
Depois soltei meu grito:
“Ou vai, ou racha ou se tora !”
Na rua eu faço passo
Da canela fazer nó
Se o pé formar um calo
Pulo de uma perna só
Avise ao pessoal
Que eu não estou normal
Pode acabar-se o mundo
Vou brincar meu carnaval

Não quero fantasia
Vou me vestir como der
Num dia eu melo a cara
No outro eu vou de mulher
Pra enganar a fome
Não quero espeto da praça
Dou um chupão num Gellys
E o tira-gosto é cachaça
Que eu não fico legal
Com `agua mineral
Pode acabar-se o mundo
Vou brincar meu carnaval

Já no primeiro gole
Vou ficando carrancudo
Viro um bêbado valente
Que não aguenta cascudo
Chamaram um camburão
Pra acabar com a brincadeira
Porém só adianta
Me prender na quarta-feira
Senhor policial
Reserve um chá de pau
Pode acabar-se o mundo
Vou brincar meu carnaval

No fim da bagaceira
Minha vista escureceu
Se alguém souber meu nome
Diga pra mim quem sou eu
Vou dormir na calçada
Abraçado a um cachorro
Pra uma alma sebosa
Me levar carteira e gorro
E ainda se dá mal
Pois não tem um real
Pode acabar-se o mundo
Vou brincar meu carnaval
