The reason I really need to learn Portuguese legitimately instead of trying to understand it via Spanish is that, even when Caetano Veloso writes in a second language, his lyrics are often devastatingly beautiful and well crafted. The song is mind-blowing, and as on the rest of this record there is philosophical depth that is on par with anything else I've ever heard. I wouldn't call him the Bob Dylan of Brazil, I'd call him the Vladimir Nabokov of psychedelic rock.
@onhavapalace I'd say this is among the finest Caetano wrote in english. Some other examples aren't so good. Especially what the album Transa contains. They're a bit fishy in their content :/
