Mãe
Caetano Veloso
Mother
Words, silence, I did nothing
I'm so unhappy
If you spoke of these, you would not see
Immense loneliness
I am a King who has no end
And you shine inside here
Guitars, rooms, wind, floor
What a pain in the heart
Cities, seas, people, river
Nobody has love for me
Cicadas, beds, laps, nests
A little heat
I'm such a lonely man
But you shine in what I am
And my way and your way
It's a neither you nor I
Boys, waves, alleys, mother
And just because you're not
You are for me nothing more
In the mouth of the mornings
I'm sad, almost a sad animal
And you shine anyway
I sing, I scream, I run, I laugh
And I never get to you
