Águas Passadas

I always told myself
That bygones don't move mills
But longing is a river
That keeps passing through my path

The more I say I hate
The more I surround you with my thoughts
It's no use trying to remember you differently
If my heart loves even your flaws
It doesn't want me to ever forget you

And so I keep fighting
With my own ego
The more I deny, the more you have me
I try to imagine my body in other embraces
But in your place, I see no one

And I find myself here alone
Remembering things that were ours
I cry when the longing hurts me afterwards

My love
I miss you every moment
My love
You don't leave my thoughts
My love
You return unexpectedly like the wind

All the pains of the world
Don't hurt as deeply
As your absence
That tears me apart, cuts me
Almost closes the door to my existence

I see your face in the streets
And in every moon, I ask for your return
It's no use fighting against this memory
If I know my heart doesn't rest
And suffers so much from living for you

And so I keep fighting
With my own ego
The more I deny, the more you have me
I try to imagine my body in other embraces
But in your place, I see no one

And I find myself here alone
Remembering things that were ours
I cry when the longing hurts me afterwards
