Pipoco e Pipoca

Popcorn and Fireworks

Pipoco e Pipoca

On paper, sugar paperNo papel, papelote de açúcar
Between the mirrors of the buildings, portraitsEntres espelhos dos prédios, retratos
There's São Paulo, Beijing, and ChicagoTem São Paulo, Pequim e Chicago
It's a good sip of bitter coffeeÉ bom trago de café amargo
To smile even when feeling downPra sorrir mesmo desanimado
Sit here, I’ve got a message for youSenta aqui, vou te dar um recado
Everything changes!Tudo muda!

In the city, I kiss the asphaltNa metrópole eu beijo no asfalto
It chokes my startled chestAsfixia o peito assutado
Turns my eyes red, the good weedAvermelha o olho o bom baseado
To smile even when feeling downPra sorrir mesmo desanimado
Sit here, I’ve got a message for youSenta aqui, vou te dar um recado
Everything changes!Tudo muda!

There’s fireworks and popcorn, buddyTem pipoco e pipoca, compade
For the kings, there’s popcorn galorePara os reis tem pipoca à vontade
There’s fireworks and popcorn, buddyTem pipoco e pipoca, compade
There’s fireworks and popcornTem pipoco e pipoca
There’s fireworks and popcornTem pipoco e pipoca

In the slums, there’s an engaged guyNa favela tem moço engajado
Always laughs when a gay guy walks bySempre ri quando passa um viado
Not knowing he reinforces the pastSem saber que reforça o passado
Nothing changes!Nada muda!

A sprig of rue brings luckUma muda de arruda trás sorte
And protects the trans from deathE protege a travesti da morte
There’s fireworks and popcorn, buddyTem pipoco e pipoca, compade
For the kings who run the cityPara os reis que comandam a cidade
Can see everything at their leisurePossam ver tudo muita à vontade
