Cara a Cara
Chico Buarque
Face to Face
I got a tin chest
And a tie knot
In my heart
I have a sensible life
Without emotion
I'm in a damn hurry
I don't stop for anything
I don't pay attention
To the verses of this song
Useless
Clear the stone from the path
Pour another glass of wine
Put wind in the mill
Make it run
Put strength in this thing
Because if it stops
We end up face to face
Face to face face to face
Put wood in the furnace
Set fire to the straw
Ignite the battle
Make it boil
Put strength in this thing
Because if it stops
We end up face to face
Face to face face to face
I have a square meter
A fixed gaze
And the television
I have a bought smile
In installments
I'm in a damn hurry
I don't stop for anything
I don't pay attention
To the strings of this guitar
Useless
Clear the stone from the path (etc.)
I have my steps marked
The path traced without discussion
I have a meeting scheduled
With loneliness
I'm in a damn hurry
I don't live nearby
I'm not called John
I don't like nor say no
It's useless
Clear the stone from the path (etc.)
I'm running, I'm leaving
I'm throwing things out
Grab a tissue, wave it, and cry
Fulfill your duty
Put strength in this thing
Because if it stops
We end up face to face
Face to face face to face
With what you don't want to see
