Breath of Life
I dreamed one day of having wings like birds,
And with the help of the winds and across the seas,
I could arrive even if only for a few moments
Close to you and end my tears.
I dreamed of turning into a traveling ghost,
Hidden in a dark corner of your room,
And so you can admire your sleep
Tired from the struggle of life.
My dream came true one day,
But, your room I found empty.
His bed was also empty,
I couldn't see you the way I wanted.
Why, why this change in your life?
I always search in my constant thoughts,
The motive and the reason
For that life change.
Life! Life!
Change your life...
Makes her the young woman she was again,
Full of life, cheerful and happy.
I want to see you smiling again,
With your beautiful and peaceful smile...
Smile of those who live in peace,
Smile of someone who is being loved in life.
And so I lay, I stayed in her empty bed.
In the dark corner of your room,
Only shadows and darkness I saw.
I couldn't hug... I couldn't see her the way I wanted to.
At home. São Paulo, September 1990
