[English]
Fallen from exhausting flights
Complex and thoughtful
Wounded after so many sieves
Armored with our reasons
Sulking, reflective
And then comes the antidepressants
Shy among records and books
Harmless
Does the sun come out for a better flight?
I'll wait, maybe in spring
The sky clears, it gets warmer
See what’s left of us and what was already gone
The planet spinning in collapse, so much lie
Fuels the anger of those who suffer silently
The page turns, sanity deliriums, then we go crazy
And amid all this, we're like...
Little birds
Free to fly, eager
To find a nest
Even if it’s in each other's chest
Little birds
Free to fly, eager
To find a nest
Even if it’s in each other's chest
Laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá
Laiá, laiá, laiá
Laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá
Laiá, laiá
Laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá
Aha, aha, aha
Aha, aha, aha
Babylon is gray and neon, I know
My best friend has been the music, okay
So much karma feels like Armageddon, I pray
Searching for new life, like ultrasound, found it
Cities are dead villages, a nonsense challenge
Vain competition that no one wins
Imagine an anthill, going badly
When people see things, minds turn to steps
At the pace things go, Jão, craziness
Soon there’ll be just wood, not enough for coffins
It was fog, today it’s pollution
The hot asphalt burns your feet on the ground
Cars in abundance, chaos
Water scarcity coming right at us
This way, there’s hardly even room for cockroaches
Injustices make laws, and what’s left for you?
Choosing which poison kills you
Because we’re like...
Little birds
Free to fly, eager
To find a nest
Even if it’s in each other's chest
Little birds
Free to fly, eager
To find a nest
Even if it’s in each other's chest
Laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá
Laiá, laiá, laiá
Laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá
Laiá, laiá
Laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá
Laiá, laiá, laiá
Laiá, laiá, laiá, laiá
Laiá, laiá
Little birds
Free to fly, eager
To find a nest
Even if it’s in each other's chest
Little birds
Free to fly, eager
To find a nest (two, three, four)
Even if it’s in each other's chest
