Balade brésilienne (feat. Flávia Coelho)

My head spins like a dervish
The booze dries me out, a bitter taste in my mouth
My tongue, a blade in a rough pocket
The floor creaks under our worn-out rich kid shoes
We smoke on the ledge, inside the music drowns out the chatter
Love cheats, we settle for it, the nights are cool
Tomorrow we sleep
Sunday at the church, the pastor will just preach fake sermons
We have life ahead of us to burn through our cartridges
Outside the city looks beautiful like I’m a riverboat
Degrees in the red, couples are getting it on under the moon
Girl, it’s a trip
This 15-year-old stuff turns your eyes into a lagoon
Traffic jam of girls in front of the restrooms
Shit, I mixed up the olive pits with the peanuts
We dance our loneliness to binary beats
All on the floor, brains in a fog, there’s humor in the air
In these brief moments, it’s time we outsmart
So tell me what game we’re playing before the dawn breaks

Let’s walk, stroll on the beach
And let loose
On the waves of love
The situation here is tough
Lacking poetry, no guy wants commitment
To have a real talk, honestly, it’s a struggle
A guy who talks in poetry is desperate for it
On the dance floor, we groove, the temperature’s just right
It’s early, it’s midnight, it’s a full moon
Your perfume is Chanel from Paris
You root for PSG
So tell me what you need to be happy
Sun, wind in my face, cold beer
Bikinis, sandals
Another night in Brazil
Let’s walk, stroll on the beach
And let loose
On the waves of love

Laid back, head in the clouds, the night is blue
Look up, the sky is within our reach
Is it a drone, a star?
Oh, who cares, make a wish
The clock, out of breath, shows curfew time
Cachaça, sugar cane, crushed ice
My little heart is a lemon in a mortar
The sky is scattered like the dance floor
Where have the calm times gone
Where nothing mattered
A fragment of pleasure
A scent, an archive, a summer fragrance
A choking smoke
Your outlines and my thoughts whip me
Like a downpour on the doorstep of hurried passersby
Lights come to the window
The night dies to see a new day born
And since time is short for us
I’ll camp on your lips to fall asleep listening to you

Let’s walk, stroll on the beach
And let loose
On the waves of love
Let’s walk, stroll on the beach
And let loose
On the waves of love
