Velho Piano
Nana Caymmi
Old Piano
Ah! Love changes so much
It seems like the charm
Everyday undoes
Like a verse thrown in a corner
Of an old piano
That doesn't play anymore
And it extends its cloak
Like a sovereign
And comes like a saint
But leaves profane
It seems like a gypsy
Never returns
Ah! Love causes astonishment
Love is the deception it brings
Disillusionment behind
And yet
Every human being
Makes too many plans for it
Makes too many mistakes
Oh, it's love, a dizzy boat
In a vast ocean
Of laughter and tears
Of pleasure and harm
And how worldly it is
It doesn't stop at the dock
And when it wants peace
It's too late
