Eletronic Brain by Marisa Monte

Translated version

The electronic brain does everything
Does almost everything
It does almost everything
But it’s mute

The electronic brain commands
In charge and out of charge
He’s the boss
But he doesn’t walk

Only I can think
If God exists
I’m the only one
Only I can cry
When I’m sad
I’m the only one
Here with my buds
Flesh and blood
I speak and I listen. Hum

I think and I can
I can decide
Whether I live or die
Because I’m alive
I live for dogs and I know
No electronic brain can help me
On my inevitable path to death
Because I’m alive
I’m very much alive and I know

That death is our primitive impulse and I know
No electronic brain can help me
With its iron buttons and its
Glass eyes

Composition: Gilberto Gil

Original in Portuguese

O cérebro eletrônico faz tudo
Faz quase tudo
Faz quase tudo
Mas ele é mudo

O cérebro eletrônico comanda
Manda e desmanda
Ele é quem manda
Mas ele não anda

Só eu posso pensar
Se Deus existe
Só eu
Só eu posso chorar
Quando estou triste
Só eu
Eu cá com meus botões
De carne e osso
Eu falo e ouço. Hum

Eu penso e posso
Eu posso decidir
Se vivo ou morro por que
Porque sou vivo
Vivo pra cachorro e sei
Que cérebro eletrônico nenhum me dá socorro
No meu caminho inevitável para a morte
Porque sou vivo
Sou muito vivo e sei

Que a morte é nosso impulso primitivo e sei
Que cérebro eletrônico nenhum me dá socorro
Com seus botões de ferro e seus
Olhos de vidro

Composição: Gilberto Gil
