Crafty Way
When you pass by me
Turning your face and not looking at me
I feel something that hurts
And squeezes my heart
I'm like a unprotected flower
Sad and already petalless
Scattered by the wind that takes you
To the garden of loneliness
It's as if I'm worth nothing
I can't stand this crafty way
Of treating my heart
No, don't do that, don't do that
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts too much
Don't do that, don't do that
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts too much
Oh! My people, if I had that love
I would give my whole life to her
I would give her the night, I would also give her the day
And all I wanted in return was a little bit of her
Then I would tell the whole world
That life is wonderful, life is beautiful.
