Verdade Chinesa
Carlos Colla
Chinese Truth
That was all
I wanted from life
A beer
A daring illusion
That would tell me
A Chinese truth
With an intention
Of a sweet kiss on the lips
The afternoon falls
Night rises with magic
Who knows, maybe
We'll see each other another day
Who knows the dream
Will remain in conversation
Who knows even life
Will fulfill this promise
We do a lot of things
Following the path
That the world has drawn
Following the rules
That someone taught
Following the recipe
Of normal life
But what is
Life after all?
Is it doing
What the master ordered?
Is it eating the bread
That the devil kneaded?
Losing from life
What is best
Sit down, get comfortable
Feel at home
Have a drink, take a break
The sadness will pass
Leave it for tomorrow
There's plenty of time
What matters
Is the feeling
And the love
We have in our hearts
That was all
I wanted from life
A beer
A daring illusion
That would tell me
A Chinese truth
With an intention
Of a sweet kiss on the lips
The afternoon falls
Night rises with magic
Who knows, maybe
We'll see each other another day
Who knows the dream
Will remain in conversation
Who knows even life
Will fulfill this promise
We do a lot of things
Following the path
That the world has drawn
Following the rules
That someone taught
Following the recipe
Of normal life
But what is
Life after all?
Is it doing
What the master ordered?
Is it eating the bread
That the devil kneaded?
Losing from life
What is best
Sit down, get comfortable
Feel at home
Have a drink, take a break
The sadness will pass
Leave it for tomorrow
There's plenty of time
What matters
Is the feeling
And the love
We have in our hearts
Sit down, get comfortable
Feel at home
Have a drink, take a break
The sadness will pass
Leave it for tomorrow
There's plenty of time
What matters
Is the feeling
And the love
We have in our hearts
