Minhas Madrugadas
Paulinho da Viola
My Early Mornings
I wander through my early mornings singing
To forget what’s gone by
I bear a weathered face
Every wrinkle on my skin
Symbolizes a heartbreak
I want to find in vain what I lost
Only memories remain
I have no peace
And the youth
That won’t come back again
How many lips have I kissed
How many hands have I caressed
Only memories are left in my heart
Today staring in the mirror
I saw my red eyes
I realized that the life
I lived was just an illusion
