Mãe (Mãe Solteira)

Tom Zé Tom Zé

Mom (Single Mom)

Every step, every pain
Every tear that’s been shed
Every stitch in the knit
Your spider-like silence
Spitting out patience
To weave your own fate

Every reckless kiss
Every mark of jealousy
Every night of forgiveness
The future’s just around the corner
And the sudden clarity
Of being in solitude

Sleep, sleep
My sin
My guilt
My salvation

Sleep, sleep
My sin
My guilt
My salvation

The neighbors and relatives
Society’s watching
And morality with its lenses
With desperate calm
Your silent, muted pain
Every longing has been piling up

Setting the trap
Webs, threads, and needles
All against the loneliness
To be able to bring a child
Whose mother is your fears
And the father is your courage

Sleep, sleep
My sin
My guilt
My salvation

Sleep, sleep
My sin
My guilt
My salvation
