Dois Pra Lá, Dois Pra Cá
Elis Regina
Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Back
Feeling the cold
In my soul
I invited you to dance
Your voice calmed me down
Two steps forward
Two steps back
My treacherous heart
Beat louder than the bongo
Trembled more than the maracas
Out of sync with love
My head spinning
Spun more than the couples
Your gardenia perfume
And don't ask me anymore
Your hand on my neck
Your soft back
For how long did they roam
My empty nights
A fake diamond on the finger
Earrings matching the necklace
And the tip of a torturous
Band-Aid on the heel
Today, getting drunk
With whiskey and guarana
I heard your voice whispering
Two steps forward
Two steps back
A fake diamond on the finger
Earrings matching the necklace
And the tip of a torturous
Band-Aid on the heel
Today, getting drunk
With whiskey and guarana
I heard your voice whispering
Two steps forward
Two steps back
You left behind the illusion
That was in my heart for you
