Kriptonia Lyrics Translation (from “Zé Ramalho canta Raul Seixas (Deluxe)”)

The poet mentions a ‘blazing comet that shattered, a small asteroid that everyone calls Earth,’ blending myth with modern-day struggles. Zé Ramalho uses cosmic metaphors to talk about respect and silence, grounding the song in both humor and gravity. His words challenge the listener to think about power and identity.

Não admito que me fale assimI won’t let you talk to me like that.
Eu sou o seu décimo-sexto paiI’m your sixteenth father.
Sou primogênito do teu avô, primeiro curandeiroI’m the firstborn of your grandfather, the first healer,
Alcoviteiro das mulheres que corriam sob o teu narizthe go-between for the women who ran right under your nose.
Me deves respeito, pelo menos dinheiroYou owe me respect, or at least money.
Ele é o cometa fulgurante que espatifouHe is the blazing comet that shattered,
Um asteroide pequeno que todos chamam de Terraa small asteroid that everyone calls Earth.
De Kriptônia desce teu olharFrom Kriptonia, your gaze descends,
E quatro elos prendem tua mãoand four links bind your hand.
Cala-te boca, companheiro, vá embora, que má criação!Shut your mouth, companion, go away—what poor breeding!
De outro jeito não se dissimularia a suma criaçãoOtherwise, the supreme creation couldn’t be concealed.
E foi o silêncio que habitou-se no meioAnd it was silence that settled in between.
Ele é o cometa fulgurante que espatifouHe is the blazing comet that shattered,
Um asteroide pequeno que todos chamam de Terraa small asteroid that everyone calls Earth.
De Kriptônia desce teu olharFrom Kriptonia, your gaze descends,
E quatro elos prendem tua mãoand four links bind your hand.
Cala-te boca, companheiro, vá embora, que má criação!Shut your mouth, companion, go away—what poor breeding!
De outro jeito não se dissimularia a suma criaçãoOtherwise, the supreme creation couldn’t be concealed.
E foi o silêncio que habitou-se no meioAnd it was silence that settled in between.
Ele é o cometa fulgurante que espatifouHe is the blazing comet that shattered,
Um asteroide pequeno que todos chamam de Terraa small asteroid that everyone calls Earth.
Terra, iê-uouoEarth, yeah-woah.
Terra, Terra, ê-ohEarth, Earth, eh-oh.
