pra você guardei o amor

For you, I saved the love
That I never knew how to give
The love I had and saw without letting me
Feel without being able to prove
Without giving
And sharing

For you, I saved the love
That I always wanted to show
The love that lives in me, come visit
Smile, come color the sun
Come warm
And allow

Whoever welcomes what it has and brings
Whoever understands what it says
In the chalk of the gesture, the way
Ready from the blink of the eyelashes
That the invitation of silence
Displays in every look

I saved
Without why
Nor for reason
Or anything else
Besides not knowing how to do
To have my own way of showing myself
I found
Seeing in you
Explanation
None of this requires
If the heart beats strong and burns
In the fire, the ice will burn

For you, I saved the love
That I learned from watching my parents
The love I had and received
And today, I can give freely and happily
Sky, smell and air in the color that the rainbow
Scratches as it levitates

I will be born again
Pencil, building, Tevere, bridge
Drawing on your hip
My lips kiss signs like bells
I trace childhood, I count the cradle
Of your home

I saved
Without why
Nor for reason
Or anything else
Besides not knowing how to do
To have my own way of showing myself
I found
Seeing in you
Explanation
None of this requires
If the heart beats strong and burns
In the fire, the ice will burn
