letra de coimbra - vagabond opera
the crooked streets of coimbra
smoking a cigar
the students singing fado
with a black look and guitar
the orange peel unwinding
in the robust underbelly
in the gilded maze of coimbra
there’s a wh-r- with an umbrella
and you drank too many ports
that bottle was a flirt
the african with half a face
flicks ashes into dirt
your comp-ss is unpeeling
it’s hanging upside-down
the sinister cafe
sings another round
and the cobbled streets pursue you
there’s a beckoning pinched face
at the end of gilded walkways
they put alleys into place
the bridge lurches into water
to escape your leg’s embrace
and she smiles a cracked smile
the prost-tuted daughter
ah, my cerveira
i long for lisboa
the sheets on the bed are clean
you’ll be my countess
i’m carved in your sh-r-
shall i escort you to the ring
cerveira
beijinhos
cerveira
cerveira
beijinhos
cerveira
[instrumental]
in the crooked streets of coimbra
there’s an envoy of the ages
he kisses alleys with his cane
his sulphur lips are faded
read a sonnet to a countess
his raspy breath in tongues
she breathed the air so long ago
lies underneath the stones
the crooked streets of coimbra
are the arts of a black widow
she folds you into orange blossoms
cradling the middle
like a stillborn torn and stumbling
into cracked and risky pavement
my brain is singing fado fast
the alleyways are mumbling
like a tavern or a monastery
sorting out its miscreants
misfits of these alleyways
hardening the ambiance
then here comes a dreamless night
here comes a dreamless night
i’ll only dream of crooked streets
and maybe of cerveira
ah, my cerveira
i long for lisboa
the sheets on the bed are clean
you’ll be my countess
i’m carved in your sh-r-
shall i escort you to the ring
[instrumental]
aaah!
cerveira!
beijinhos!
cerveira!
aah!
cerveira!
