The Rose

Versions: #1
She crushes my life plans
Dear, guide star of my path
Thorn nailed in my throat
Throat
This saint sometimes calls me by the wrong name
And disappears
 
And disappears until late in the night
Poor thing, she works the night shift
Artist, she is crazy about Portela1
Look at her
Look at her wearing green and pink2
 
The Rose assures me she belongs to me only
Quietly, she went out to buy cigarettes
How funny, she brought some things from the Northeast of the country
How lucky
How lucky, she came back all smiles
 
Mad, she comes up with such caresses
Egyptian3, she sees me and looks away
Hippiesh, she embroided my name in her shirt
Abuses, accuses me
Inspects my pants' pockets
 
That liar cleared my wallet
Cool, she paid our bills
Alright, when it's all good she leaves me, she complains
This geisha
What a sweet woman
The Rose
 
Oh, Rose, what about my life plans?
Bandit, where is my guide star?
Tramp, you forget me in the dark night
But you swear
You swear to me that someday you'll come back home
 
She crushes my life plans
Dear, guide star of my life
Thorn nailed in my throat
Throat
This saint sometimes calls me Alberto
Alberto
 
I'm sure she dreamed with some soap opera
Penelope, awaits me embroidering
Sweating, bedridden with a fever
What a fever
This hare, how ardent she is
The Rose
 
The Rose swore me everlasting love
I took my suit to dye
Someday she brought me some tight clothes
Me gusta, me gusta
She had a whim of dancing tango
 
My meal disappeared from the fridge
Homely, her sauce is wonderful
What a dutiful daughter, she visits her family in São Paulo
To the pampas, to the pampas
She came back all tanned4
 
This fairy ruins my lyricism
This Candomblé celebration, wears down my larynx
Sphinx, she eats me up
Chilling, that good one
What a wonderful thing
The Rose
 
Oh, Rose, what about my life plans?
Bandit, where is my guide star?
Tramp, she forgets me in the dark night
But she swears
She swears that she'll come back home someday
 
  • 1. A renowned samba school
  • 2. The colors of Mangueira, Portela's rival
  • 3. There's an idiom that literally translates to 'Play the Egyptian', meaning looking away, showing your profile, in a rude or hostile manner when you don't want to talk to someone - a reference to ancient Egyptian paintings
  • 4. Pampas are a kind of plain typical of the south of Brazil (far away from São Paulo), famous for being cold and its rocky untouristy beaches

Shadow crawling





The lights go out, the doors close
And I'm crouched at the table, dazed,
a figure lost in my drunken stupor,
'a drink', I say, 'one more', tearful.
 

Shadow crawling in my late night,
in my drinking and cigarette smoke.
Your memories come to mind
like scattered notes on an untuned guitar.
Shadow crawling.
 

The hall emptied, the people are gone
and I am left in the back, forgotten.
In a monologue I speak to you,
in the glass and in a daze immersed.
 

Shadow crawling in my late night,
in my drinking and cigarette smoke.
Your memories come to mind
like scattered notes on an untuned guitar.
Shadow crawling.

Goodnight





Farewell and goodnight to you all
Goodnight and bless you all
I wish you good health always
Goodnight, bless you all
 

There's not a musical instrument that plays
That makes my heart more joyful
Than the sound of young girls singing
Goodnight, bless you all
 

And the voice that fills my heart with songs
Is the happy sound of young people singing
A peaceful place from the days of my youth
Joy be with you always
 

There's not a musical instrument that plays
That makes my heart more joyful
Than the sound of young girls singing
Goodnight, bless you all

An abyss





In our hands, lips, hair and our shoulders,
In our words, thoughts, eyes and our silence,
Today, we are similar and differ with you,
It's half step between us, so far like an abyss.
You little one, scared of darkness so much
I'm feeling all that, I see all of you
I'll be your warm blanket, your mantle
If you only ask me,
'Till you want to end it
 

In letters, in pictures, in writings, in dreams
Cannot be expressed what's happens between us
I know how the loneliness feels time to time
It's half step to you, so far like an abyss
I wish to shout out to you, I wish you could listen
I'm tiptoe, I'm groping, at half strength, I'm rushing
Tell me if we feel the same way with the others
In our hands, lips, hair and our shoulders?
 

For you, for you
I summons in vain at the midnight
Never, ever betray you or let somebody take you out
So now, so now I'll turn into a pillar of salt1,
But I, but I will trust you like in last one
 

Our common world is going to hell
Like a blast wave, snow avalanche descents
Let everything goes awry, wrong way, bass-ackwards
Just to your voice went right into my heart.
 
  • 1. 'become a pillar of salt' - sending to Bible, when Lot's wife is turned into a pillar of salt when she look back to her crushing city. In song man don't mind to become a rock of salt only for going back to their crushing relations

Let It Come





Let it come like definitely
Let your soul pick up heavy, put down light like the wind on the porch
And let the wind blow gently
Don't hurry
With my melody
Upset that day, didn't see you over
Afraid you'll pay attention to the thing that separates us
You don't know, what to do
Also betraying
With a lover, that's all
 

And only when you see those two tears
Feel so empty
When you only live for yourself
Find your name in the forgotten
You when you first met me
Been buried, for long
No matter how much you try to hold
Fought back some words
Now all I say will be too quick in your eyes
Just need you to love me, that's it
That should be enough
Hoo, ooh-hoo-ooh-hoo
 

The rock on the cliff
Where has it rolled
Why are you still waiting for him?
Too far from you (have far from you)
Too far to tomorrow (To tomorrow)
To walk away without coming back
As if I was never alive
 

To let you see those two tears (those two tears)
See the void you left (see the void)
When you only ever live for yourself (When you left me in the void)
Leave your name in oblivion
You when you first knew me
Been hiding, for too long
No matter how much you try to cling
And just argue back
Even the time will make your eyes sadden
Just need you to love me, that's all
Guess I'm done talking
Hoo, ooh-hoo-ooh-hoo
 

Hah, ah-ah-ah
Hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
 

When you see those two tears (see those two tears)
See the emptiness (See the emptiness)
When you only live for yourself) (When you left me in the void)
So I'll leave your name in the back of my head
You when you first met me, hoo
Let it come like definitley
