Vampiros

Vampires

Vampiros

In the gray sky under the mute starNo céu cinzento sob o astro mudo
Beating wings through the silent nightBatendo as asas pela noite calada
They come in flocks with velvet feetVêm em bandos com pés de veludo
To suck the fresh blood of the herdChupar o sangue fresco da manada

If someone is deceived by their serious airSe alguém se engana com seu ar sisudo
And opens the doors upon their arrivalE lhes franqueia as portas à chegada
They eat everything they eat everythingEles comem tudo eles comem tudo
They eat everything and leave nothing [repeat]Eles comem tudo e não deixam nada [bis]

Vampires arrive everywhereA toda a parte chegam os vampiros
They land on buildings they land on sidewalksPoisam nos prédios poisam nas calçadas
Carrying ancient spoils in their belliesTrazem no ventre despojos antigos
But nothing ties them to finished livesMas nada os prende às vidas acabadas

They are the stewards of the whole universeSão os mordomos do universo todo
Forced lords lawless rulersSenhores à força mandadores sem lei
They fill the granaries drink new wineEnchem as tulhas bebem vinho novo
Dance in a circle in the king's pine groveDançam a ronda no pinhal do rei

They eat everything they eat everythingEles comem tudo eles comem tudo
They eat everything and leave nothingEles comem tudo e não deixam nada

On the ground of fear the defeated fallNo chão do medo tombam os vencidos
Screams are heard in the stifling nightOuvem-se os gritos na noite abafada
Victims of a creed lie in the ditchesJazem nos fossos vítimas dum credo
And the blood of the herd is not exhaustedE não se esgota o sangue da manada

If someone is deceived by their serious airSe alguém se engana com seu ar sisudo
And opens the doors upon their arrivalE lhes franqueia as portas à chegada
They eat everything they eat everythingEles comem tudo eles comem tudo
They eat everything and leave nothingEles comem tudo e não deixam nada

They eat everything they eat everythingEles comem tudo eles comem tudo
They eat everything and leave nothingEles comem tudo e não deixam nada
