No céu, todo mundo te amaIn heaven everyone loves you
No céu ninguém te conheceIn heaven nobody knows you
Mas eu simBut I do

Eu sonho que eu era um menino lindoI dream I was a beautiful boy
Dormindo no ventre de um animalSleeping in a womb of an animal
Segurando a corda umbilicalClutching the umbilical chord
Meu corpo era o mapa da AméricaMy body was the map of America
Eles me abençoaram com essas lindas mãos e dedosThey blessed me with these beautiful hands and fingers
Mas minha barriga estava cheia de produtos químicosBut my belly was a bag full of chemicals
Então eles decoraram todas as paredes com espelhosSo they decorated all of the walls with mirrors
Agora todo mundo espera pelo milagreNow everybody waits for the miracle

No céu não havia nadaIn heaven there was nothing at all
Apenas o tom de couve-flor de uma bomba atômicaJust the cauliflower shade of an atom bomb
Desaparecendo no escuroFumbling away in the dark
Com cascos de prata e satélitesWith silver hooves and satelittes

Eu vi os navios de guerra pelo rioI saw the battleships down by the river
E os fogos de artifícioAnd the fireworks
Um cemitério na véspera de Ano NovoA cemetary on New Year's Eve
Quando nos vestimos como animaisWhen we dressed up like animals

O nome dele era JonasHis name was Jonah
Ele era o melhor amigo que eu já tiveHe was the best friend I ever had
E eu lembro do rifle deleAnd I remember his rifle
E o diploma deleAnd his diploma
E no dia em que ele disse que seria o rei do mundoAnd the day that he said he was going to be the king of the world

O nome dele era JonasHis name was Jonah
Ele era o melhor amigo que eu já tiveHe was the best friend I ever had
E eu lembro do rifle deleAnd I remember his rifle
Ele era um solitárioHe was a loner
Mas o rádio disse que ele seria o rei do mundo (rei do mundo)But the radio said he was going to be the king of the world (king of the world)
