O CÃO QUE CORRE ATRÁS DE MIM (e o Avô Elísio à Janela)

The dog talks about the street, it needs the street, the neighbourhood, needs corners to pee, needs children to pursue.
The dog talks about how he misses the streets
The lack of trouble
Of friends and pals
Of the street that becomes the world
Of his shed, the friendly grandpa
Talks about making it on his own, helping friends out
Being afraid of the night but even then not going home
The dog is the street, is grandpa, is the house. They need each other.
We claim the street to play, break, hide, learn, lose.
