Conjuro

One night, it sprouted in my guitar
This zamba that I sing for you today
And when playing it, my calloused hands
I felt they were trembling, trembling with love
Capricious branch of destiny
That wanted to bring you into my life
Like the branch of a lost dream
That I saw bloom on your warm lips

Let my guitar break in two
Let my voice shatter into pieces!
If these heartfelt verses I speak
Are not the beat of my heart
And if I lie, may oblivion come
And take away this zamba that I sing for you!

Butterfly, fleeting luck
That wanted to enlighten me by bringing you
With a sky of transparent light
Your absent eyes made me dream
As they say everything is written
Until the day of final judgment
I will follow the sign of destiny
You will be my path, my pure truth
