Êta Vida

"Respectable audience:
The society
Of the Great Caveman Order
Asks for permission to present
The greatest show on earth"

I live here in this city
Which belongs to São Sebastião
There's Maracanã on Sundays
Payment in installments
Sun and sea in Ipanema
I know you'll like it...

But that wasn't
What I wanted
What I really wanted
Was to get out!...(2x)

Oh, this damn life!
I don't understand anything anymore
It's this turned life
I want to see...(2x)

São Sebastião of Rio
Everything here is great
On TV at night
There's culture and carnival
There's a model
In a bikini that's amazing...

But that wasn't
What I wanted
What I really wanted
Was to be at peace! (2X)

Oh, this damn life!
I don't understand anything anymore
It's this turned life
I want to see...(2x)
