Choro Pro Zé

Oh, why do you cry, sax, so much like this?
Tell me what makes you suffer
I'm your friend, I deserve it

Always by your side
I'm the heart that makes you live
Oh, why do you cry, sax, so much like this?
There's no reason to regret

Trust me
That in my life
Joys, sad and empty hours
I go through with you
The emotion that seduces

Playing a cry or a blues
It makes me remember some very blue nights
Listening to a saxophone whisper
At a moonlit ball

Phrases for a sophisticated lady
There's a sax in me
Crying softly like this
And it's so beautiful, a tear singing

A saxophone in a bar
Makes me breathe
Whenever love
Causes me to lack air
