Água Contida

I, crying
With this all crumpled face
With this eye raw, slashed
And this nose that won't stop running

I, crying
As predictable as sand in the desert
More pathetic with no one around
So immense that can't contain anymore

So go, let it flow
All the contained water
So go, let it flow
All hidden sorrow is stagnant water
And at some point it overflows

I, crying
With this all crumpled face
With this eye raw, slashed
And this nose that won't stop running

I, crying
As predictable as sand in the desert
More pathetic with no one around
So immense that can't contain anymore

So go, let it flow
All the contained water
So go, let it flow
All hidden sorrow is stagnant water
And at some point it overflows

You may not understand if sometimes I stay in the corners
A bit quiet, withdrawn, immersed in my tears
It's because it frees me instantly
At the moment I let it out
What no longer serves me goes away
And so, I feel light

Go, let it flow
All the contained water
So go, let it flow
All hidden sorrow is stagnant water
And at some point it overflows
