Boca a Boca
Nana Caymmi
Mouth to Mouth
It's in the flesh, it's in the bone
The pain is penetrating
Who will feel as much as I do, my agony?
Delirium of an old woman
Vision or memory
Ah, how young I was
And loved life so much
I'm alone in the cold bed
My body burns in slow anticipation
I'm alone in bed, in life
I'm alone facing death
It's fear, it's cold
In the joints, in the nerves
Who will give me strength
To see the end of the wick
It's fear, it's cold
In the joints, in the nerves
Who will give you strength to see
The end of everything
I have faith in the world and in men
I have faith in this crazy adventure
I do want this air that I lack
I do want to breathe mouth to mouth, to love
It's in the flesh, it's in the bone
The pain is penetrating
Who will feel along with you
Your agony
Delirium of an old woman, vision or memory
Ah, how young she was, and loved life too much
Believed in the world and in men
And had faith in this crazy adventure
She did want this rarefied air
She did want to breathe mouth to mouth, to love
Woman, mouth to mouth
Let the news spread
Whoever knew knows, it was love
In the holy woman
Ah, follow your pain, as an example and Sun
Ah, follow like light in the dark night
