Cantiga de Acordar

Chico Buarque Chico Buarque

Waking Song

It was an illusion
A folly
We must put the ground
Under our feet

It was like a train
That moves without passing by
It was a time without
Place

But
It was a good dream
To dream because
I dreamed of you
And then your song came to wake me up

It was an illusion
Within
Another bigger illusion

But
You went to the sun
Night enveloped me
In a silence like
Yours
And then your song came to wake me up

Everything is an illusion
Those who are here
They are not
In themselves
From the universe, beyond
Fauns or mortals
Will remain no more
Signs

Everything that is seen
Is the dream of some
Poor dreamer
All the stars
All the miseries
All the desires
And the song of my love
Everything that was seen everything that went

Last illusion
Dawn is already breaking
The ground will open
Perhaps
The illusion fades
It's just one scene
And the curtain falls
Without mercy
The sound will cease
The session is over
Waking up is good
But it hurts

Stones will roll
Servants cry
Will shatter
Stained glass windows
The spotlight falls
Dressing rooms burn
The actress falls
The train derails
The pillar gave way
My love will die
And I

In a fleeting garden
Of endless spirals
I was running after
Myself
The man gets distracted
Sleeps in good faith
His shadow leaves
On foot

But
It was an illusion
A folly
We must put the ground
Under our feet
