Pelo Sim, Pelo Não
Cláudio Nucci
For Yes, For No
The first slap I take
is for the saint and for those who deserve it
I keep in mind how much it costs
for a person to learn
for yes, for no, a prayer to God,
a candle for the dog
it's an ace up the sleeve
and a lady in hand
the second one I take is with myself
I don't play to be a loser
noticing the tune of life is what makes the singer
when I want it's like this:
there's no good or bad, not even two hundred thousand oxen
I tie a knot in the line of destiny
and untie it later
Oh, golden heart...
Oh, ungrateful loneliness...
this passion mistreats
takes away any reason
cuts worse than fire
cuts better than a knife
Oh, golden heart...
this passion kills me
