Resposta ao Tempo
Nana Caymmi
Response to Time
Knocks on the front door
It's time
I drink a little
To have an argument
But I feel awkward
Silent, it laughs
It mocks
How much I cried
Because it knows how to pass
And I don't
On a blue summer day
I feel the wind
There are leaves in my heart
It's time
I remember a love I lost
It laughs
Says we are the same
If I noticed
Because it doesn't know how to stay
And I don't either
And it spins around me
Whispers that it erases the paths
That loves end in the dark
Alone
I reply that it imprisons
I set free
That it puts passions to sleep
I awaken
And time gnaws at itself
With envy of me
Watches over me wanting to learn
How I die of love
To try to revive
Deep down, it's an eternal child
Who didn't know how to mature
I can, it won't be able
To forget me
I reply that it imprisons
I set free
That it puts passions to sleep
I awaken
And time gnaws at itself
With envy of me
Watches over me wanting to learn
How I die of love
To try to revive
Deep down, it's an eternal child
Who didn't know how to mature
I can, and it won't be able
To forget me
Deep down, it's an eternal child
Who didn't know how to mature
I can, it won't be able
To forget me
