Grito de Alerta

Maria Bethânia Maria Bethânia

Warning Cry

First you tease me, you twist my head
It leaves a bitter taste of bile in my mouth
Then comes crying apologies
So kind of asking, wanting to get a bit of honey

Don't you see that then I tear myself apart?
I choke, I swallow, I reflect, I reach out
And so our life is a river drying up
The stones cutting, and I keep asking: Until when?

There are so many little things, gnawing, eating
Slowly destroying our ideal
They are phrases lost in a world of shouts and gestures
In a blame game that does so much harm

I don't want the reason because I know how wrong I am
How much I have destroyed
I only feel in the air the moment when the glass is full
And that I can't swallow anymore

Look closely
Our case is a half-open door
I searched for the right word
See if you understand my cry of warning

Look closely
It's love shaking my heart
There is a needy side saying yes
And this life of us shouting that no

Look closely
Our case is a half-open door
I searched for the right word
See if you understand my cry of warning

Look closely
It's love shaking my heart
There is a needy side saying yes
And this life of us shouting that no
