Flor do Destino
Nilson Chaves
Destiny Flower
I loved you like rainwater
That seeps into the world
I drank you like a street well
That I looked into but couldn't see the bottom
You gave me a dream
I brought you a taste of tucumã
You gave me a kiss
And we loved each other until morning
The sun came beating
And woke us up
From us turning into earth, bush,
Branch and flower
Stream water is clear and clean
But sometimes clouds with violent rain
Your love is a parrot that chatters
Inside the silence of the gray afternoon
And love is a river
Deep river
With many signs
Where boats pass
As the wind wishes and does
Oh, I still remember
What remained
From us turning into earth, bush,
Branch and flower
