É Preciso Ter Calma

Love, that word that kills me
cuts me (like a knife)
leaves me on the ground, like a dog
naked and restless, like the pleasure I deny you.
Pain, captive, deprived,
mist that covers your fairy body,
dream, distant in the mind
and suddenly, knowing you're alone.
It's tough, it's pure the future,
always present like the sky in front of you
painted, burned, empty accepted
a sad body stripped
and a hand that reaches out,
depends on who comes
and that's really how it is.
Far or near,
everything is a desert
Everything is a mountain that scratches your soul
with fury, with calm.

You gotta stay calm
Don't give your body for your soul.

You see the painful past, wounded,
now everything is dear to you.
Memory, victory, isn't this your story?
Your life flew away, lost,
through the arms of AIDS.
Lie, stolen, heavy,
a swapped syringe, a pleasure that’s now nothing.
Forgive me if I don’t know what to do,
But I know it must hurt,
give me your gaze and I’ll give you my love,
and the urgent, pressing kiss,
hope that doesn’t sleep, as it should,
and dictates my being here.
Tomorrow, who knows, for now the sound of the guitar
that grabs me, holds me, releases me,
and turns you around, to the smile,
take it easy...

Chorus

Common sense, I’m not afraid, I don’t fear
I just tremble at the thought...
but I don’t think, and I tense you make me travel
with your voice.
I remember last November
when the days were short
and the nights of fado,
ripped, sung, felt.
In the God we created
we learned to live, by heart,
my love,
and now it’s time,
everything is left to do,
I want to tell you once more
that I love you, maybe, I want you,
I wait and despair for you,
and that alone
is enough for me to live,
even when there’s only...
silence...
immense,
and pain, and worse, my love,
the memory that rests
your eyes in mine...
Goodbye.

Chorus (2X)

You gotta stay calm.
