Flamboyant

For how many nights I found myself disenchanted
While the stages collapsed on me
My love then kissed my eyes
Said: Let's go! Get up and sing!

I would dress up and she would breastfeed
Our boy was the audience and the dressing room
And from her breasts it seemed to ask
My dad, what's up?
Kiss me and go sing

And I knew I had to go
To ease all the pain of the city
And I landed on the pianos around
Just like a thrush landed on a flamboyant tree
For how many times I asked God in the morning
Let me sing for Brazil
To have at the gate, the milk and the bread
And the dog's tail that says no when it's yes

My love already at the doorstep
Holding our Harlequin
It gave me the impression of a Tom Jobim samba

Until one day I decided to get disenchanted
And collapsed over the stages of the country
My love still kisses my eyes
And I say: Let's go! Sing for those who cry

I ask God to be able to give the light
That my voice fulfills the mission of easing
All the bitterness of this land of Jesus
And I say: Vera Cruz, sing so you don't cry!

And for those who sing in their cabarets
Be proud of this profession
Land on the stages of pianos, guitars
And the voice is a hummingbird, in the colors of the songs

For how many times I asked God in the morning
Keep my simplicity
To have at the gate the milk and the bread
And the dog's tail that says no when it's yes

My love is at the doorstep
And the smile of my Harlequin
It's a sky of emotions and I am a light like this
Shining, shining, shining

My love always at the doorstep
And the smile of my Harlequin
I am an eternal Tom Jobim ballad
Singing, singing, singing
