Soneto
Chico Buarque
Sonnet
Why did you discover me in abandonment?
With what torture did you steal a kiss from me?
Why did you set me on fire with desire?
When I was fine, dead tired
With what lie did you open my secret?
From what old romance did you steal me?
With what ray of light did you illuminate me?
When I was fine, dead afraid
Why didn't you let me fall asleep?
And you pointed out the sea to me, with what ship?
And you left me alone, with what way out?
Why did you descend into my dark basement?
With what right did you teach me life?
When I was fine, dead cold
