Paquetá

ah, if I can bear to hear another no
maybe a perhaps or a yes
I may deserve it in the end.
It's just that I already know by heart
what of which
and the however of the likes
think well
or don't think like that!

I got angry in a whim, I know
so much stubbornness is just a whim
that this stubbornness was me, I didn't see
and hesitated, did the worst
of love, what did I do with the amulet?
I left it around...
I neglected it, almost let it go
wanted to let it fall.
but I didn't
I caught it in the air
and today I know
without you, I'm screwed.

oh, don't leave me here
the night chill hurts
I know, I got lost
but hey, I only find myself in you.

what a slight to the intrigue, oh!
such a whim this feud; and bad
from the tangle that mix-up
and from that, well, this knot was made.
and from this deception I saw gleam
from afar your lighthouse.
my lost island is there
my sunset.
