Grito
Amália Rodrigues
Scream
Silence! From silence I make a scream
And my whole body hurts
Let me cry a little
From shadow to shadow, there's a Heaven, so secluded
From shadow to shadow, I've already lost its meaning, to Heaven
Here I lack the light
Here I lack a star
One cries more
When living behind it, and I
The one forgotten by heaven
I'm the one the world lost
I only cry now, for those who die no longer weep
Loneliness, that not even that is complete
There's always a companion
A deep bitterness
Oh, loneliness, who was once a scorpion
Oh, loneliness, and if it bites the head, goodbye!
I've gone beyond life
I thirst for what I once was
I'm a sad shadow
Leaning against a wall, goodbye
Life that lasts so long
Come, death that delays so much
Oh, how it hurts
Loneliness, almost madness
