Even the wind is against me
No handkerchief, no ID
The sun shines down just to spite me
And I’ll go...

The sun shines down on favelas
The spaceships and the guerillas
The actresses have charisma
And I'll go...

It’s on the presidents faces
It’s in the great acts of love
On legs and teeth, flags of nations
On bombs and Brigitte Bardot

The sun is shining down on the newsstands
I’m filled up with joy amidst all the quicksand
Who actually reads this?
And I’ll go...

Between the names and the pictures
The colors flirt with my eyes
In the past, my heart has been filled with vain lovers
I’ll go...
Cause why not, cause why not?

She says she wants to get married
But I just dropped out of school
No handkerchief and no ID
And I’ll go...

I only drink Coca Cola
She only talks about marriage
And a couple songs give me courage
And I’ll go ...

Between the names and the pictures
No guns or things that could kill
No phones, no hunger, no liquor
Into the heart of Brazil

She doesn't know that I dream
Of singing on the TV screen
The sun is so pretty
And I’ll go ...

No handkerchief, no ID
And both of my pockets are empty
Don’t want to die while in my twenties
And I’ll go…

Cause why not, cause why not?
Cause why not, cause why not?
Cause why not, cause why not?
Cause why not, cause why not?
