Menina da Plateia
Fernando Mendes
Girl from the Audience
When he arrived to sing
At the beginning of his career
He always saw in the same place
Always in the same chair
A simple girl who smiled
Who sang, who applauded
Who encouraged him to continue
And when the song was sad
She started to cry
And dream about the love of her singer
Girl from the audience
Who loves her artist
Where are you now?
Why lose sight of you?
Today when he returns to sing
His success covered in fame
The audience applauds him shouting
In ecstasy they call his name
But he misses the girl
Who smiled, who sang
Who applauded, who encouraged him
He feels the sad absence
Of her smile, of her gaze
Come, you need to come back
And bring with you that friendly kiss once again
What would the artist be without you?
