Balada Astral
Miguel Araújo
Astral Ballad
When God put the world
And the sky to spin
Deep down
He knew that by that walk
I would find you
My mother, in the second
That she accepted to dance
It was in the song
Of the stars conspiring
That from their cosmic wandering
They sent your father
To smile at your mother
So that you
Would exist too
It was a beautiful day
And at that time, I too
The infinite
Still remembered well
Its cosmic hostage
I thought
I was just going to buy bread
You thought
You were just going to walk the dog
Safe from the conspiracy
Our paths crossed
We stumbled upon a glance
And the bread that day
Remained unpurchased
The leashes of the dogs
Got tangled
The stars, the signs
The destinies and the constellations
The stars, the paths
And the belongings of both
