Complex of epic

Every Brazilian composer
is psychologically traumatised.
 
Why then this damn habit,
this worry
to speak so seriously,
to sound so serious
to be so serious
to smile so seriously
to cry so seriously
to have fun so seriously
to love so seriously?
 
Good heavens
to hell with being so serious!
 

Xique-Xique

I saw the blind reading the chord of the guitar
Blind against blind in the backwoods duel
I saw the blind tying a reef knot1 with a snake
I saw a blind man trapped in the sight cage
Black bird flying far away
And the blind goat2 seeing in the dark
 
I saw the moon on the back of a comet
I saw the Zabumba3 and the Fole 4 'zabumbeing' 5
I saw the lightning when the whole sky flashes
And the Triangle 6 swallowing sparks
I saw the white galaxy inside the dark galaxy
I saw day and night meet
 
I saw the father, I saw the mother, I saw the daughter
I saw the heifer that is the daughter of the heifer7
I saw the replica of the replica of the Bible
In the invention of a science singer
I saw the lamb of god in an empty egg
I got cold and asked you to warm me
 
I saw the blind reading the chord of the guitar

I saw a blind man trapped in the sight cage
White wing, white wing, white wing 8
And the blind goat seeing in the dark
 
I saw the moon on the back of a comet
I saw the Zabumba and the Fole 'zabumbeing'
I saw the lightning when the whole sky flashes
And the Triangle swallowing sparks
