Acalmarei
Mariana Aguiar
I will calm down
Sometimes I feel so small
That I wouldn't reach the lowest place
And that my whole life is based only
On aimless survival to get there
And sometimes I feel the whole world
When I close my eyes turning against me
And that in the world there is not only one
Who can understand what is happening here
I feel that waking up has become automatic
Like looking at myself in the mirror and not seeing anything good
And I scream deep inside me
You are not worth the suffering that brought you here
Everything I do in the end goes wrong
Everything I start I can't finish
And the wind frightens me of what is to come
From the depths of my soul I will not bear
Another storm
Sometimes I see you complain
About your strength and where you are
As if your life had no direction
Without seeing what is already prepared
Sometimes I see your mind turning
Against yourself and knocking you down
Thinking of the worst and depriving yourself of me
Of giving me your burden and just following me
Your rise is by my command
When you look in the mirror use my gaze
You will see my creation that with all my love
I dreamed, created, and loved
With blood and with pain
Everything you do I take control
My beloved child, I entrust into my hands
Everything you touch I will make fruitful
You are my tree and I will harvest the fruits
Establish yourself on the rock and in the root that I am
I will take you so high where no one dreamed
The wind announces the storm that is coming
But I announce to you, my child
I am the one who will calm down
I will calm down
I will calm down
I will calm down
I will calm down
I will calm down
The wind announces the storm that is coming
But I announce to you, my child
I am the one who will calm down
I am the one who will calm down
