Stars

O ar era mais que humanoThe air was more than human
E o calor era mais que a fomeAnd the heat was more than hungry
E os carros eram quadrados cuspindo fumaça de dieselAnd the cars were square and spitting diesel fumes

Os porcos-do-mato estavam correndo selvagementeThe boars were running wild
Porque eles são grandes, maus e sagradosBecause they're big and mean and sacred
E as crianças jogando cricket sem sapatosAnd the children playing cricket with no shoes

Naquela manhã nós acordamos, caraThat morning we woke up man
Para uma viagem de 7 horasTo a seven-hour drive
Então nós estávamos em South BatongWell there we were in South Batong
Onde mulheres e homens erramWhere women are men and men go wrong

E havia tão menos perguntasAnd there were so many fewer questions
Quando estrelas eram apenas buracos no céu, mmmWhen stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmm
Cara, e havia tão menos perguntasMan and there were so many fewer questions
Quando estrelas eram apenas buracos no céu, mmmWhen stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmm

Os policiais eram bem amigáveisThe officials were quite friendly
Desde que nós os subornássemos com nossa doce conversaOnce we bribed them with our sweet talk
E os afogássemos com cigarros e bebidasAnd we drowned them with our cigarettes and booze
Desembarcando do portoDisembarking from the port
Sem erros nenhumWith no mistakes of any sort
Movendo pro sul a máquina suavementeMoving south the engine running smooth

Na manhã seguinte nós acordamos,caraThe next morning we woke up man
Com o nascer do solWith the sunrise to the right well
Indo de volta ao norte ao Porto BlairMoving back north to Port Blair
Onde os barcos quebram e crianças ficam olhandoWhere boats break and children stare

E havia tão menos perguntasAnd there were so many fewer questions
Quando estrelas eram apenas buracos no céu, mmmWhen stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmm
Cara, e havia tão menos perguntasMan and there were so many fewer questions
Quando estrelas eram apenas buracos no céuWhen stars were still just the holes to heaven
