Décimas

Tenths
This life is a fabric
Where everything intertwines
And if magic embraces you
The senses awaken
When I heard your heartbeat
My soul found its home
And even though it may seem like chance
I know that heaven was saying
That your hands and mine
Had to meet
Larairaira laiairá, lairaia, lairaira
Laira Larairaira lairaiá, lairairai, lairairá
Summer was greener
Joy was a downpour
Twilight a sailboat
Passenger of the evening
That fire burning today
Is joyful and serene
It's so strong, so true
That fireflies keep it
In their belly like a lullaby
As a vigil candle
Words are little boxes
So small, so square
I ask the fairies
To sing to you very close
When I kiss your little mouth
May they slide in your breath
The joy of this wind
That tosses my dress
The stars bear witness
To the love I now feel
Larairaira lairaiá, lairaia, lairairá
Laira Larairaira lairaiá, lairaiá, lairairá
Laira Larairaira lairaiá, lairaiá, lairairá
Laira Larairaira lairaiá, lairaiá, lairairá
