Tatuagem [English translation]

I want to be engraved on your body like a tatoo

To give you courage

to continue your journey

when night comes

and also to perpetuate myself as your slave

that you take, rub up, deny

but doesn't wash

I want to play in you body like a ballet dancer

that immediately hallucinates

jumps and enlights you

when night comes

And on the beaten muscles of you arm

To rest shrivelled, withered, weary of

tired to death

I want to weight like a cross on you back

That shreds you into pieces

But deep down you like it

when night comes

I want to be the smilling and corrosive scar

Marked in cold, iron and fire

In living fleshe

mothers' hearts

Harpoons, mormons and serpents

That scribble all your body

but you don't feel
