O ar era mais que humano
The air was more than human
E o calor era mais que a fome
And the heat was more than hungry
E os carros eram quadrados cuspindo fumaça de diesel
And the cars were square and spitting diesel fumes

Os porcos-do-mato estavam correndo selvagemente
The boars were running wild
Porque eles são grandes, maus e sagrados
Because they're big and mean and sacred
E as crianças jogando cricket sem sapatos
And the children playing cricket with no shoes

Naquela manhã nós acordamos, cara
That morning we woke up man
Para uma viagem de 7 horas
To a seven-hour drive
Então nós estávamos em South Batong
Well there we were in South Batong
Onde mulheres e homens erram
Where women are men and men go wrong

E havia tão menos perguntas
And there were so many fewer questions
Quando estrelas eram apenas buracos no céu, mmm
When stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmm
Cara, e havia tão menos perguntas
Man and there were so many fewer questions
Quando estrelas eram apenas buracos no céu, mmm
When stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmm

Os policiais eram bem amigáveis
The officials were quite friendly
Desde que nós os subornássemos com nossa doce conversa
Once we bribed them with our sweet talk
E os afogássemos com cigarros e bebidas
And we drowned them with our cigarettes and booze
Desembarcando do porto
Disembarking from the port
Sem erros nenhum
With no mistakes of any sort
Movendo pro sul a máquina suavemente
Moving south the engine running smooth

Na manhã seguinte nós acordamos,cara
The next morning we woke up man
Com o nascer do sol
With the sunrise to the right well
Indo de volta ao norte ao Porto Blair
Moving back north to Port Blair
Onde os barcos quebram e crianças ficam olhando
Where boats break and children stare

E havia tão menos perguntas
And there were so many fewer questions
Quando estrelas eram apenas buracos no céu, mmm
When stars were still just the holes to heaven, mmm
Cara, e havia tão menos perguntas
Man and there were so many fewer questions
Quando estrelas eram apenas buracos no céu
When stars were still just the holes to heaven
