Castigo
Lupicínio Rodrigues
Punishment
I knew you one day
Would look to me for peace
Much remorse, much longing
But what does it bring you?
The woman when she is young and beautiful
Never believe you can stumble
When mirrors give you advice
They are looking for someone to hold on to
And for me you were one of them
That at the time they were beautiful
They saw everything differently than it is
Now that it no longer enchants
It tries to imitate the plant
Plants that die standing up
And I thank you for remembering me
Among so many unfortunate people he passed through in his life
A man who is a man does what a cedar does
That perfumes the axe that felled him
I knew you one day
Would look to me for peace
Much remorse, much longing
But what does it bring you?
The woman when she is young and beautiful
Never believe you can stumble
When mirrors give you advice
They are looking for someone to hold on to
