Afogamento

Gilberto Gil Gilberto Gil

Drowning

I'll take the risk of sinking for good
Under the weight of foolishness
No longer able to float
I'll be with someone nose to nose
Drowning by a hair's breadth
I'll try to save myself

Always like this
Whenever love leaks with the tide
I'll end up far away where I can't touch
Hard to swim

Another day the fact finally happened
A dolphin, an angel, a seraphim dolphin
Came to help me

I clung to that smooth body and let myself be carried away
By your side, your open smile guiding me
So I relaxed and completely surrendered to the sea

Always like this
Whenever love leaks with the tide
I'll end up far away where I can't touch
Hard to swim

Another day the fact finally happened
A dolphin, an angel, a boto, a seraphim
Came to help me

I clung to that smooth body and let myself be carried away
By your side, your open smile guiding me
So I relaxed and completely surrendered to the sea
