O Elixir Da Eterna Juventude
Sérgio Godinho
The Elixir of Eternal Youth
I'm getting old!
My knee hurts
Part of my forearm hurts
The inside
Of one leg
And a friendly part
Of my belly
That’s worn out
What do I do?
Do I choose the lazy or the lunch?
Turn the bone
My neck hurts
It's from excess
Of ex-sex
Commotion
Turmoil
I’m losing my spark
I’m already sobbing
I’m already gasping
I’m dissecting
My symptoms
And by the way, my doctor’s
Degrees
I’m dissecting
My conscience
And by the way, I present my penance
Oh, I regret
Having done and having had
Oh, prayer, let it be
Like the one I heard in church
My fault, my bad
My biggest apology
Is having come to the present
Preserved in liquor
I want to be forever young
My cells are moving
It’s an effective campaign
Holy water and paint thinner
The elixir of eternal youth
The one that wants everything to change
So that everything stays the same
It was fake
Counterfeit
It’s unfair!
I’m going to beg the apostles
But it’s worse, I disgust them
With so much sin together
Not even grease sticks to them
I’ll turn to my saints
At least, there are so many
There must be one who helps me
If not, I still have Buddha
Muhammad goes to the mountain
The pope, no one catches him
In Russia, the rat gnaws the cork
Come, devil, and choose
The elixir of eternal youth
The one that wants everything to change
So that everything stays the same
It was fake
Counterfeit
It’s unfair!
Mysticism aside now
Aging is an art
New art, final art
Of an unequal fight
I’ll only kneel
Before the oldest of the old
And ask him the secret
Of why it’s still early for him
When the mirror looks at me
It doesn’t even take off my hat
I stick my tongue out at it
Wink and I’m outta here
The elixir of eternal youth
The one that wants everything to change
So that everything stays the same
It was fake
Counterfeit
It’s unfair!
