Regina Elis
Transversal Do Tempo
God Pay You
For this bread to eat, for this floor to sleep
The birth certificate, and the concession to smile
For letting me breathe, for letting me exist
God pay you
For the pleasure of crying and for the fact that we are
there
For the joke in the bar and the football to applaud
The crime to comment on, and the samba to distract
God pay you
For this beach, this skirt, for the women here
The bad love made quickly, shave and leave
For the Sunday that is beautiful, soap opera, mass and comic book
God pay you
For the free cachaça that we have to swallow
For the smoke, misfortune, that we have to cough
For the scaffolding, icicles, that we have to fall
God pay you
For another day of agony to endure and watch
For the gnashing of teeth, for the buzzing city
And for the demented scream that helps us escape
God pay you
For the woman mourning for praise us and spit on us
And for the worm flies to kiss and cover us
And for the ultimate peace that will finally redeem us
God pay him
