O mar fala de ti

I was born somewhere
Where the sea is in sight
Weaving the horizon
And hearing the sea moan
I was born like water flowing
From the source

And I lived elsewhere
Where you can hear the sea
Beating against the dock
But I lived, I don't know why
Like a boat at the mercy
Of the storms.

I know the sea didn't choose me
I know the sea speaks of you
But it knows that it was me
Who took you to the sea when I saw you
I know the sea didn't choose me
I know the sea speaks of you
But it knows that it was me
Who got lost in it
As soon as I lost you.

I will die somewhere
Where I can see
The wave that tempts me
To die free and unhurried
Like a river that returns
To its source.

Maybe there is the place
Where I can affirm
That I became more human
When, by losing my footing,
I felt that the soul is
An ocean.
