Of taking so many arrows from your eyes
Of taking so many arrows from your eyes
My chest looks like... you know what?
A shooting target1
There's no room for more holes.
Of taking so many arrows from your eyes
My chest looks like... you know what?
A shooting target
There's no room for more holes.
Your eyes kill more than rifle bullets
Than strychnine poisoning2
Your eyes kill more than a car crash
They kill more than a gunshot
Of taking so many arrows from your eyes
My chest looks like... you know what?
A shooting target
There's no room for more holes.
Of taking so many arrows from your eyes
My chest looks like... you know what?
A shooting target
There's no room for more holes.
Your eyes kill more than rifle bullets
Than strychnine poisoning
Than a Bahiano's dagger
Your eyes kill more than a car crash
They kill more than a gunshot

The lyrics contain many words that intentionally reflect an uneducated speech, in words like "frechada" (flechada), "táubua" (tábua), "automóver" (automóvel), "revórver" (revolver) and, of course, "Álvaro" (alvo) which is an intended pun.
