Black Orpheus, by Marcel Camus
Sometimes your eyes are sold out to the devil, The devil needs them to see the light, So that he can find darkness. Sometimes your tongue is sold out to the devil, The devil needs it to taste the sweet, So that he can remain bitter. Sometimes your heart is sold out to the devil, The devil needs it to feel the warmth, So that he can catch the cold. Sometimes your head is sold out to the devil, And that devil is you.
