Ao Meu Redor
Marisa Monte
Around Me
Around me is desert
You are not around
And it's still so close
Inside this fridge, inside the pantry and on the stove
Inside the drawer, inside the garage and in the basement
In every closet, on dresses, on medicines, on a button
Inside the walls, through the rooms, through the buildings and at the gate
Even in what I can't see
Even when I don't want to
I don't want
Inside the shirt, in the shoe, in the cigarette
In the magazine, in the pool, in the window, in the car next door
On the radio I hear the same thing
All the time, in February, in January, in December
Around me is desert
Everything that is nearby
And it's still so close
Inside this fridge, inside the pantry and on the stove
Inside the drawer, inside the garage and in the basement
In every closet, on dresses, on medicines, on a button
Inside the walls, through the rooms, through the buildings and at the gate
Even in what I can't see
Even when I don't want to
I don't want
Inside the shirt, in the shoe, in the cigarette
In the magazine, in the pool, in the window, in the car next door
On the radio I hear the same thing
All the time, in February, in January, in December
Around me is desert
You are not around
And it's still so close
You don't act like a little bird
Who made a nest and flew away
But I was alone without your affection
Without your love
Love from afar
From afar
