- Varje kväll vid åttatiden, går jag stigen nerför berget. Och så hoppar jag på bussen, som går till Copacabana. Jag har badat, jag har duschat. Luktar gott om hela kroppen. Och så börjar jag gå, och jag tål att tittas på.
- Every evening around eight o'clock, I walk the path down the mountain. And then I jump on the bus, that goes to Copacabana. I have bathed, I have showered. My whole body smells good. And then I start walking, and I bear being looked at [idiomatic for looking good].
