Berço de Espinhos

The beautiful flowers I planted on your path
You uprooted and threw stones in their place
I sent you the light of dawn as a gift
Received back a dark night without moonlight

I threw smiles to see your way
You gave me contempt and didn't even want to look at me
I sent you such clear and calm light
You gave me in return a dark corner to cry

I put the most beautiful roses on your path
You put live coals for me to step on
I gave you the most beautiful dream of this life
You took away my right to dream

I put the velvet feather on your bed
You gave me a bed of thorns to lie on
I built a castle of colorful granite
I ended up in the world without a roof to live

I gave you the wings so white and beautiful
You turned into a predator wanting to attack me
I who thought of giving you my heart
Turned my back for you to stab me

I put the most beautiful roses on your path
You put live coals for me to step on
I gave you the most beautiful dream of this life
You took away my right to dream
