Tanta Saudade

Chico Buarque Chico Buarque

So Much Longing

It was so much longing, it's to kill
I even got sick, I even got sick girl
If I don't kill the longing, it's 'let it be'
Longing kills us, longing kills us girl

I wanted to know what desire is, where it comes from
I went to the center of the Earth and it's beyond
I looked for a way out and love is not there
I was going crazy, crazy, crazy with love

I wanted to reach the limit of a passion
Bailing out the ocean with my hand
Finding the salt of life and loneliness
Draining the appetite, all the appetite of the heart

But the longing returned

It's to stay, then I faced it head on
Then I faced it head on, girl
If I stay in the longing, it's 'let it be'
Longing swallows us, longing swallows us girl

I wanted to know what is .... appetite of the heart
Oh love, my mirage, my horizon line
It's mountain after mountain, it's mountain
The source never dries up, oh longing I'm still young
That well has no bottom, it's a world and inside is a world
and inside is a world and inside
It's the world that takes me
