José Afonso - Os Eunucos
Os eunucos devoram-se a si mesmos
Não mudam de uniforme, são venais
E quando os mais são feitos em torresmos
Defendem os tiranos contra os país Em tudo são verdugos mais ou menos
No jardim dos harens os principais
E quando os pais são feitos em torresmos
Não matam os tiranos pedem mais Suportam toda a dor na calmariaJosé Afonso - Os Eunucos - http://motolyrics.com/jose-afonso/os-eunucos-lyrics-english-translation.html
Da olímpica visão dos samurais
Havia um dono a mais na satrapia
Mas foi lançado à cova dos chacais Em vénias malabares à luz do dia
Lambuzam de saliva os maiorais
E quando os mais são feitos em fatias
Não matam os tiranos pedem mais
José Afonso - The Eunuchs. (In the Kingdom of Etiopia) (English translation)
The eunuchs devour each other
They never change their clothes, they're poison
And even still they're made in honeycomb
Defending the tyrants against the country.
They are more or less executioners in everything
And especially in the garden of the harem
And when the parents are made of honeycombs
They don't kill the tyrants but just want more.
They put up with pain with the serenityJosé Afonso - Os Eunucos - http://motolyrics.com/jose-afonso/os-eunucos-lyrics-english-translation.html
Of the Olympic vision of the Samurai
There was an owner too many in the province of the Satrap
But he was thrown into the hole of the jackals.
Juggling in the light of day
They drivel spit on the majority
And the more they are sliced up
The more they don't kill the tyrants but just want more.
(translated from the Portuguese by Phil Meyler)
