Nem o Sol, Nem a Lua, Nem Eu
Maria Bethânia
Neither the Sun, Nor the Moon, Nor Me
Today I found the Moon
Before it found me
I launched myself through the stars
And shone in your place
I spilled my longing
And the city lit up
By carelessness or by malice
You didn't show up
Today I woke up the day
Before waking you up
I was the guiding starlight
To be able to illuminate you
I spilled my longing
And the city darkened
I collapsed in the storm
For a kiss from you
Neither the Moon, nor the Sun, nor Me
Who could have imagined
That love would be your delirium
And mine was to believe
Today the Sun didn't want the day
Nor the night the moonlight
I know, love, I know
It doesn't mark time or place
I'm tired, love, I'm tired
We get tired of waiting
Today the Sun didn't want the day
