Dá-me Lume

You came with three cents
And the air of someone who has nothing
Much more to lose
The wine wasn't good,
The band was off-key,
But you made the night appealing
You chased away my loneliness,
Lit up the pavilion of dawn,
With your unsure step and paradise in your gaze

I went crazy for you,
Immediately felt younger,
Couldn't fail!
Taking advantage of
The eloquence of love
Right there at hand
I showed you the origin of good and the reverse,
Proved to you that what matters in the universe
Is that unsure step and paradise in your gaze

Give me light, give me light
Let your fire envelop me, until the music ends
Give me light, don't let the cold in
Let your arms close around me, wings that have been waving for so long

I had an open spirit
Sometimes I got close
To the essence of love
But in the midst of mattresses
In the midst of tumbles
The situation was getting worse
You awakened in me a lighter being
And I know that essentially it's due
To that unsure step and the paradise in your gaze

If I were a composer
I would compose in your honor
A triumphant anthem
If I were an art critic
I would declare you
A masterpiece on a worldwide scale
But I'm just a common man
Who was lucky enough to savor
That unsure step of yours and the paradise in your gaze
