Aquarela #2: Colecionador

I'm collecting your details
You give me, I keep your looks
One by one, one by one
I didn't enter your life just to be another one

I'm collecting your affections
You give me, I keep your smiles
One by one, one by one
I didn't enter your life just to be another one

I'm a collector, I only collect your love
I gathered all your pieces, look what happened
It seems like the love of my life appeared
Although I already listened to your signs
In the bells of the cathedrals, you come, my dear

I'm deciphering your algorithm
I'm fitting you into this beat, love in rhythm
Of someone who wants you yesterday, today, forever

If we are repeated stickers, that's okay
I repeat you more and more
You complete me, we meet the goal
If the sky was the limit, it's already behind us

I'm a collector of your love
Tell them, tell them we fit together
To have melody and flow even to put on a show

You completed what I didn't even know was incomplete
Where were you that you weren't close by?
Like water in the desert, you arrived
Land in sight, sea open, the heart signaled
You overflowed me, love

What we have is rare
Leaves any collector amazed
It's poetry amidst so many shallow people
It gave me wings and time flies with you
Doesn't delay, I'm ready to live with you

Beautiful, I'll see you next week
Today the ticket price went up and I had nothing but
A collection of pains, but you healed me, amen
Today I see other colors, other flavors
What I like the most is what she has

Look at the irony, I don't have much to offer,
but I share my earphones with you
And sometimes in the silence of the night, I imagine us two
I stay there daydreaming
I even had to borrow this one from Caetano

Risky move, but the redhead bought it
Today I'm a lucky guy, she steals the blanket
They didn't count on my cunning
She shows her sway, I like it!
I'm Olegário, she's Rua Augusta
God first, the rest we adjust

I'm collecting your details
You give me, I keep your looks
One by one, one by one
I didn't enter your life just to be another one

I'm collecting your affections
You give me, I keep your smiles
One by one, one by one
I didn't enter your life just to be another one

Yes, you're beautiful even when you don't want
In a big shirt with the collar all loose
All laid back, having coffee

So pack your bags and come live with me
I already kept you in me and made you my shelter
Your safe haven so you don't run into danger
Life is light with you, I'm your love, I'm your best friend

So much that by living with you
My chest hurts if I move you away
In this crazy life there's nothing more beautiful
Than waking up next to my lioness

I know it's love and it will always be love
With you, with you

I'm an accumulator of your love
Reasons to make you smile? I give
Funny to remember, I didn't even have pretension
I never imagined sharing day-to-day

If I say I love lying on the beach sand
And being able to admire the beauty of a blue sky like your gaze
Who could imagine that we would take the plans off paper

Your sweet kiss is sweeter than honey itself
Your whole body, a passport that takes me to heaven
To the sound of Djavan, I tell you that my love
I want to be a collector of your smile

I want you to bring magic to my spring
I want to be the sun that illuminates your summer
That in autumn our love can be reborn
So that in winter my body can warm you

I was used to so little
Resigned to just take the change
And you are so much bigger than I asked for in my verses
That I even thought it was a universe prank

Better than that is everything is true
And makes life seem like an opportunity
Unites each person in being happy, I'll make you happy
Every day I thank for having more than I ever wanted
For having more than I ever wanted

I don't want to keep you in a jar
I want to show you to the whole world
Main star of my script
Defined better than a dictionary true love

Relax, I'm recording our moments
To review in 50 years
And see that the feeling hasn't changed
Hasn't changed at all

I'm collecting your details
You give me, I keep your looks
One by one, one by one
I didn't enter your life just to be another one

I'm collecting your affections
You give me, I keep your smiles
One by one, one by one
I didn't enter your life just to be another one

I'm a collector
I only collect your love
