Anunciação Lyrics

Maria, Maria
Nosso filho está perto
Esta noite eu o vi em sonhos
Me chamando
Antes já o pressentia
Esta noite eu o vi de repente, vagamente
Maria, Maria
Maria tenho medo que você não chegue a tempo
Que ele apareça em meu quarto noturno
Com uma faca na mão
E um sorriso violento nos lábios
É preciso impedir que ele cresça longe de nós
E não nos reconheça
Maria, Maria
Não pense que estou louco
Nosso filho já nasceu
E se não tomarmos conhecimento
Como iremos saber
Que a nossa carne que nos mata
Maria, Maria
Tente mesmo chegando
A cabeleira vermelha
Como incêndio mais belo do que nós
Enquanto nós pensamos
Que ainda jaz
Na caixa de sapato
Não deixe nosso filho
Substituir o teu leite
Pelo leite das feras
Maria, Maria
Maria
Não te iludas com pílulas ou outros métodos
Tarde demais para tais providências
Essa noite, Maria, essa noite ele gritou seu nome
Maria, Maria

Cover art for Anunciação lyrics by Caetano Veloso

I loved this song before I had any idea what he was saying in Portuguese, but I recently found a translation on lyricstranslate and it was a strange feeling to find out that he's saying this (more or less):


Maria, Maria Our son is close (nearby) Tonight I saw him in a dream Calling me I could notice him before Tonight I saw him suddenly, vaguely Maria, Maria Maria I'm afraid you won't make it in time That he appears in my nocturnal room With a knife in hand And a violent smile on his lips It's necessary to stop him from growing away from us And don't recognize us Maria, Maria Don't think I'm crazy Our son is already born And if we are not aware How will we know That our own flesh kills us Maria, Maria (Try even arriving red head of hair Like a conflagration more beautiful than us) While we think That lies yet Inside the shoebox Don't let our son Replace your milk With that of the beasts Maria, Maria Maria Don't delude yourself with pills or other methods Too late for providence Tonight, Maria, tonight he yelled your name Maria, Maria


And I was even more surprised that it actually happens to touch on one of my deepest fears, that if I had a baby it would be a possessed demon baby!

So the moral of my story is if there's ever a song you love in a different language that you don't understand, get it translated! It might just be about your fear of demon babies. :)
