Grito de Alerta

Maria Bethânia Maria Bethânia

Warning Cry

First you bother me, twist my head
Put a bitter taste of gall in my mouth
Then come crying apologies, kind of asking
Wanting to gain a lot of honey

Can't you see that then I tear myself apart
Choke, swallow, reflect, 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
Lost phrases 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've already destroyed
I just feel in the air the moment when the cup is full
And it's no longer possible to swallow

Look, our case is a slightly open door
I sought the most correct word
See if you understand my warning cry
Look, it's love stirring my heart
There's a needy side saying yes
And this life of ours shouting no

Look, our case is a slightly open door
I sought the most correct word
See if you understand my warning cry
Look, it's love stirring my heart
There's a needy side saying yes
And this life of ours shouting no
