Entre a Serpente e a Estrela
Zé Ramalho
Between the Serpent and the Star
There's a gleam of a knife
Where love comes
And no one has the map
Of a woman's soul
No one leaves with their heart
Without bleeding while trying to reveal
A wonderful being
Between the serpent and the star
A great love from the past
Turns into aversion
And both side by side
Corrode the heart
There's no sharper longing
Than that of a great absent love
Hard as a diamond
Cuts through our illusion
I carry on with life
Pretending not to suffer
But the numb chest
Awaits a beloved
And I know it won't be a surprise
If the future brings me
The past back
In a woman's face
The past back
In a woman's face
And I know it won't be a surprise
If the future brings me
The past back
In a woman's face
The past back
In a woman's face
