Certas Coisas Pra Dizer
Jorge Trevisol
Certain Things to Say
I'm going to say certain things
That the heart doesn't say
If you don't love the truth
And if the soul isn't happy
It's that life has certain things
Reserved only for later
When we meet others
Who also knew love
And there's no hidden feeling
That doesn't come to prove its worth
Some confuse and others console
They come to say who I am.
I'm going to remember another thing
That I also learned
Closing the eyes of the soul
And without wanting to resist
There's nothing serene and safe
That hasn't passed through God
Even when the path is dark
There's a light pointing to the sky
Just look how things emerge
Where they will end
If it's love that guides your destiny
They bring peace.
I finally have something else
That I can't forget
Even without being sure
But I prefer to say
What I think about life
Is that one day it will ask
What did I do with my dreams?
And what was my way of loving?
What did I leave for the people
Who will continue in the world?
So that I haven't lived in vain
And it's not too late
