Fogueira de Uma Paixão
Leci Brandão
Bonfire of a Passion
All the roosters crowed (I dreamed)
All the rains fell (with you)
All the cats fought (and I didn't even want)
All the eggs fried (to wake up)
All the beds creaked (good dream)
Your naked body only slept (dreaming)
Beside it, mine was boiling (but love)
In the cold dawn (let it be)
Not knowing if I woke you up (I dreamed)
Or if I possessed you (which wasn't)
But that I dreamed of you (dream in vain)
For in your dream I wanted (I suffered)
To have with you a glimpse (of illusion)
In the bed that lights up
With the bonfire of a passion
And in this back and forth
I was a bit directionless
A comet that passed far away
From the eyes of the crowd
As morning came, I slept
But before, I felt
You touching me
But it was no longer possible
