Amor Amigo
Milton Nascimento
Friend Love
What I'm going to say
You've never heard from me
Because my shyness
Didn't let me speak for a long time
To me, you are the light
That reveals the poems I've written
Teach me to live, teach me to love
Who knows about the earth and the sun
Knows well the mysteries of the sea
What I'm going to say
You've never heard from me
Because quiet as I am
I only knew how to bleed, bleed while singing
How many times I wanted to open up
And kiss and hug passionately
But the words I should use
Escaped me, withdrawn in my prison
But what I'm going to say
You've never heard from me
Because my loneliness
Was not speaking, but showing through living
How many times I wanted to open up
And the doors of my heart
Always asked
Your love is my sun
And without it, I wouldn't know how to live
