A Tua Presença Morena
Caetano Veloso
Your Dark Presence
Your presence
Enters through the seven holes of my head
Your presence
Through the eyes, mouth, nostrils, and ears
Your presence
Paralyzes my moment when everything begins
Your presence
Disintegrates and updates my presence
Your presence
Envelops my trunk, my arms, and my legs
Your presence
Is white green, red blue, and yellow
Your presence
Is black, black, black
Black, black, black
Black, black, black
Your presence
Overflows through the doors and windows
Your presence
Silences the cars and motorcycles
Your presence
Spreads in the field knocking down the fences
Your presence
Is everything that is eaten, everything that is prayed
Your presence
Coagulates the gush of the bloody night
Your presence is the most beautiful thing in all of nature
Your presence
Always keeps the bow of promise taut
Your presence
Dark, dark, dark
Dark, dark, dark
Dark
