Maldita Cocaína
Eugénia Melo e Castro
Damn Cocaine
I can't forget the fatal night
When I saw my lover
His gaze hard and so bright
Like the steel of a dagger.
His mouth biting
His hands were tenacious
Leaving lilac stains
On my suffering body.
Damn cocaine that stole my lover
Who forever went insane
Your power fascinates
You're a Bacchante's body
With Orpheus' melodies
Damn cocaine
I hate you and I like you
You're my companion
Although the most treacherous
That I loved and knew.
Today I can't let go
Of this cursed powder
Living in its illusion
Awake and dreaming.
Life moment by moment
I feel it stealing from me
But alas, it's dreaming
That I give myself to my lover.
Damn cocaine that stole my lover
Who forever went insane
Your power fascinates
You're a Bacchante's body
With Orpheus' melodies
Damn cocaine
I hate you and I like you
You're my companion
Although the most treacherous
That I loved and knew.
