Lágrimas Do Palhaço

[Mano Brown]
In the dead of night she comes
What to do when the fortress shakes
A man's tear is about to fall

[Kamau]
Man, it wasn't a good day for jokes
Bad news at home and drama with the girlfriend (damn!)
A crazy mess that comes out of nowhere
Shows up unannounced and wrecks the dude
And I was downcast, lost in thought
Like I was searching the ground for the reason
To fill the void where the breeze was stolen
Life doesn't hold back when it wants to hit
If they ask if I'm okay, I'm fine!
Searching for my Nirvana like Kurt Cobain
But not really, in my corner I confess
Freeing myself, letting the excess flow
No time to spill out lamentations
They expect me to be the life of the party
My job doesn't let me be sad
After all, clowns exist to bring joy, but

Don't try to understand why, or the reason why
And in joy, sadness sneaks in
A friend and a traitor
Comes to free me
From the knot, to relieve
My world without a pair

Thousands of ears and eyes are waiting for me outside
The producer rushes me saying: It's time!
My heart races, I think, what now?
To help, I hear the rain, it gets worse
I look around to see who's with me in this
Which of them cares to know how I'm doing?
Some deserted, a few because of me
But here I am, and today there'll be no excuses
I want to silence those who didn't want me here
And do everything to erase what I did here (huh!)
Everyone's so critical, they give me no credit
In reality, everyone's so cynical
They want my downfall, but they won't get
Anything but hearing my name cheered in ovation
And it's these moments that ease the karma
Between the scent of roses and the aim of the gun from those

Don't try to understand why, or the reason why
And in joy, sadness sneaks in
A friend and a traitor
Comes to free me
From the knot, to relieve
My world without a pair

I ask him where she went
He says she said she'd be back
He freezes, goes silent, I ask what’s wrong
And he doesn't say a word
Everything changes when she's not around
He thinks of the most recent visit
Why does she always have to leave
Always without warning, and he can't even say goodbye? (Ha!)
But when she shows up, it's intense
The smell of passion mixes with incense
They burn through the night, a frantic rhythm
An atypical scene, almost poetic
And I just record, can't interfere
But you can feel it from afar, it's love, for sure
The beauty of the relationship of gift and inspiration
Makes you cry, and those who know understand it's not weakness, but

Don't try to understand why, or the reason why
And in joy, sadness sneaks in
A friend and a traitor
Comes to free me
From the knot, to relieve
My world without a pair

[Mano Brown]
A tear is about to fall
The tear, the tear fits in one eye and weighs a ton
The tear, the tear tastes like the sea, clear and salty
The tear, the tear moistens the medal of a winner
The tear, the tear says a man doesn't cry, okay, you said it.
