When I was born, a twisted angel
those that lived in the shadows
said: Go, Carlos! be gauche in life.

The houses spy the men
That run after the women
If the afternoon wasn't blue
There wouldn't be so much desire

The train full of legs:
White,black and yellow legs
My heart asks, why so many legs, my god

But my eyes
don't ask nothing

The man behind the mask
Is serious simple and strong
Almost never talks
Has few true friends
The man behind the mask

My God why did you abandon me
if you knew that i wasn't God
and that i was a weakling

World world vast world
if my name was Reiworld
it would be a ryme, and not a solution
more vast is my heart

I, shouldn't tell you
but this moon
this licor
leaves us moved like the devil




this poem is a poem in portugues by Carlos Drummond de Andrade
it is VERY simbolic, each thing represents something,
lets try to decode it!
