A Rosa e o Espinho
Rosa de Saron
The Rose and the Thorn
That's how it is
There's always a piece of us
When there's love
And, despite the pain
It allows us to love
You will feel
In a hug upon returning home
Or in the scar
Of what you've lived
And won't come back
If you had the power
To erase all the pain you've lived through here
But it would also cost you
Not to experience joy, what would you want?
What would remain, in the end?
That's how it is
There isn't even one road
To cross
That won't bleed
Or tire your feet
What I know
Is that love makes the affliction worth it
Do you want to know, then?
If you want to heal
Allow yourself to love
If you had the power
To erase all the pain you've lived through here
But it would also cost you
Not to experience joy, what would you want?
What would remain, remain, in the end?
How to cultivate the rose
And not accept its thorn?
You may discover
That love makes the path worth it
If you had the power
To erase all the pain you've lived through here
But it would also cost you
Not to experience joy, what would you want?
And if you became hope
For those who gave up waiting to bloom?
And sowed the memory that says
That love makes life worth it?
What would be your garden?
What would be your garden?
