Silêncio
Maria Bethânia
Silence
Silence, today I need to hear the sky so much
It's not urgent to talk like that anymore
My heart needs to rest
I come from the backlands where longing got lost
From that dusty road that hurt
Like a flower that resisted, that's how I am
Silence, I want to hear what the vastness tells me
To know if my soul is right
When it believes that these things will last
Silence, so I can remember so many things I dreamed
Find all the leaves I gathered
Along this road that brings me back to myself
Silence, today I need to hear the sky so much
It's not urgent to talk like that anymore
My heart needs to rest
I come from the backlands where longing got lost
From that dusty road that hurt
Like a flower that resisted, that's how I am
Silence, I want to hear what the vastness tells me
To know if my soul is right
When it believes that these things will last
Silence, so I can remember so many things I dreamed
Find all the leaves I gathered
Along this road that brings me back to myself
