Não Me Mintas
Rui Veloso
Don't Lie to Me
I wanted to unite the mismatched 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
so when the sea threatens my bow
and I wanted to overcome all the gales
that rise when the devil blows his nose
(chorus)
you wanted to understand the birds
Fly like Jardel over the defenders
Know why cocoons give silk
But those were just too many dreams
Tell me your tricks and feints
Do Nikes make you fly?
Tell me what you know 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 see how you've grown
With the brute force of the vines
Put your hand here and feel the desert
So full of guilt that is not mine
And even if nothing around makes sense
I swear to win the game without a hitch
(chorus)
