Ingênuo
Pixinguinha
Naive
I was naive when I believed in love
But at least I never gave in to pain...
I cried my tears first
I cried completely so I wouldn't cry anymore
And my heart remained serene
Expelling the poison through my gaze...
... I tried to stay as God commanded
Without seeking revenge as revenge has no value
And then also forgive those who err
To be forgiven on Earth
Without having to ask for forgiveness in heaven.
I didn't want to resolve
I didn't want to refuse
But from love in ruins, a force ends
By dominating us and then protecting
From the abysses that life draws
When time turns into the only evil
And loneliness begins to be fatal...
I didn't want to reflect, no
I didn't want to retreat, no
I didn't want to repress, no
I didn't want to fear...
Because I did nothing against good
And I just want someday
To be happy as I am unhappy...
