Porque Me Olhas Assim
Cristina Branco
Why Do You Look at Me Like That
Tell me your name now
If we already said yes
By the lingering gaze
Why do you look at me like that
Why do you circle around me like that
All the light of the avenue
Unfolds into passion
Druidic magic
By your touch of hand
Gentle winds sound
By the dark seas
Of my heart
Reflecting the shop windows
Of the endless city
You appeared divine
Why do you approach me like that
Why do you touch me like that
And we exchanged pendants
Old silly words
With different accents
Our prose is ready
Turning corners and cracks
Along the path of letters
Where everything else doesn't matter
And there we went boldly
On late strolls
Wandering the asphalt
Crossing other bridges
From seas that are rivers
And in a bar after hours
If I cry forgive me
Oh my love it's just that I sing
Dreaming inside
That I am in Lisbon
Tell me then that I am yours
That you are everything to me
That you put me on a pedestal
Why do you hug me like that
Why do you kiss me like that
For this night ahead
If you ask me at last
In a sky of bright ads
Let's get married in Berlin
In the vain light of the headlights
The sheets are silk
Why do you love me like that
