Arranha Céu
Silvio Caldas
Skyscraper
I’m tired of waiting for her
Every night by the window
Watching the city light up
In these nervous delusions
From the neon signs
That are life lying to me
And every time I went up
The elevator didn’t bring
That woman, damn it
And when it groaned slowly
The elevator going down
My heart was rising
I’m tired of looking at the ads
And told my heart not to love
Because your love doesn’t want you
Rest now, close the window
Forget that disaster
Forget that woman
I then lay on my chest
You came to me in a dream
And I woke up, what a distress
Thinking I was holding you
In a frenzy I squeezed
My own heart.
