Abajur Lilás (part. Ivan Lins)

I know that life is all in the present
And what is left behind is worth little
But I still see you in front of me
In the diffuse light of the lilac lampshade

At that time everything was perfect
Like those things that never come back
Two hearts beating in one chest
Many desires, so many, so similar

And I wonder now what it will be
From the diffuse light of the lilac lampshade
If the memory does not illuminate
The beautiful time that was left behind

I know that life is all in the present
And what is left behind is worth little
But I still see you in front of me
In the diffuse light of the lilac lampshade

I know that life is all in the present
And what is left behind is worth little
But I still see you in front of me
In the diffuse light of the lilac lampshade

At that time everything was perfect
Like those things that never come back
Two hearts beating in one chest
Many desires, so many, so similar

And I wonder now what it will be
From the diffuse light of the lilac lampshade
If the memory does not illuminate
The beautiful time that was left behind

I know that life is all in the present
And what is left behind is worth little
But I still see you in front of me
In the diffuse light of the lilac lampshade
