Ponteio

It was one, it was two, it was a hundred
It was the world arriving and nobody
Who knew that I am a violist
Who would give me love or money

It was one, it was two, it was a hundred
They came to ask me
Hey you, where are you going
Where are you from?
Tell me what you have
To tell

Standing in the middle of the world
I felt my moment arrive
I looked at the world and couldn't see
Neither shadow, nor sun
Nor wind

If only now
I had my viola
To sing

To sing!

It was a day, it was clear
Almost noon
It was a spoken song
Without a melody
Violence, viola
Viola player
There was death all around
The whole world

It was a day, it was clear
Almost noon
There was one who swore
To break me
But I don't remember pain
Nor fear
I only knew about the waves of the sea

They threw the viola into the world
But I went deep to retrieve it
If I take the viola
I play!
My song cannot stop
No!

If only now
I had my viola
To sing, to sing
Play!
(Everyone play)

Playing!

It was one, it was two, it was a hundred
It was a day, it was clear
Almost noon
To end my singing
It's time
Promising a new melody
One day that I know
Completely
I hope it won't be long
I'm sure that day will come
I'll tell you what I came
To find
Running in the middle of the world
I don't leave the viola aside
I'll see the time change
And a new place to sing

If only now
I had my viola
To sing
Play!

There, laia, laia, laia
There, laia, laia, laia
There, laia, laia, laia

If only now
I had my viola
To sing
Play!

To sing
Play!

If only now
I had my viola
To sing!
