Simplesmente

Simply I can wait
Here for you, an eternity
An entire afternoon

Simply I can find
Any distraction, city streets
Remnants of a fair

I take a shortcut there
Just to lose you
While I watch the planes
Nothing trembled in the air
I didn't see a single sign

Simply I can wait
Simply I can forget
About war or peace
An eternity, an entire afternoon

Calmly I can count
The clouds in the sky
Faces in the window, flowers in this square
I go down Consolação just to coincide
I read headlines around
Nothing trembled in the air
I didn't see a single sign
Still, I can wait

Until leaving a message in the afternoon
A simple longing
That you will feel when you sit at the table
A simple certainty
That now it's you who waits for me
