Metamorfose Ambulante

"Metamorfose Ambulante", by Raul Seixas: in some parts of the world, this song is a cultural anthem. In our particularly little corner, it's just more grist for the mill. Well, it's a well-tended mill. So here are umpteen versions of a really beautiful song, just don't expect all of 'em to be as beautiful as this, the original. (Though the 1st five below are all well worth your time)

You need to watch that video, then here's a poetic, translated, rendering by a "Sir Bussy" to stream or download.

Well... there were umpteen versions. I put a lotta work into finding all my favorites, but typepad crashed before I had properly saved a buncha killer youtube links to astoundingly different versions of this song, so I'll just tell you to search "raul seixas" and "metamorfose ambulante" on youtube. We don't need no stinking typepad. Fuck typepad, i'm going to bed....

I was looking for a text translation via Google and was surprised to find that Raul Seixas translates in Portuguese to "Cat Stevens".
