Voar Como O Jardel
Rui Veloso
Fly Like Jardel
I wanted to unite the discordant stones
supports of my shaky world
those two perfect and beautiful stones
from which I was born strong and whole
I wanted to have a tie to this dock
for when the sea threatens my bow
And I wanted to overcome all the gales
that rise when the devil blows his nose
You wanted to understand the birds
Fly like Jardel over the central defenders
Know why cocoons give silk
But those were already too many dreams
Tell me your tricks and feints
Do the 'Nike' shoes make you fly?
Tell me what you know and don't lie to me
At least in you I can trust
Now tell me what you learned
From jumping so many walls and borders
Look at me and see how you've grown
With the brute force of the creepers
Put your hand here and feel the desert
Full of guilt that are not mine
And even if nothing around fits right
I swear to win the game flawlessly
You wanted to understand the birds
Fly like Jardel over the central defenders
Know why cocoons give silk
But those were already too many dreams
