Vera Cruz
Milton Nascimento
Vera Cruz
Today was when I lost her, but where I no longer know
I take myself to the sea
In Vera I let go and lay in this pain
My body with no place
Ah, I wish to forget the girl who left
From our Vera Cruz and the tears that remained
Of the death I dreamed, in the things of a glance
Ah, I let myself go in the rivers, running without stopping
I searched for Vera Cruz in the fields and in the sea
But she slipped away, lost in the distance
I want to anchor one day in another tranquility
And forget about the winds
And I tied myself to the wind and will depart with it
In search of Vera Cruz
Ah, I wish to find
The girl who left in the sea of Vera Cruz
And the tears that remained
Of the north I lost in the things of a glance
