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

BEGINNING OF A NEW LIFE, TO THE RIVER
Breath of Life That's how I stayed... tied on top of suitcases, until the moment we got on the plane to start our trip to Rio de Janeiro. My mother, as always, took great care of me, and always looked after me so that I wouldn't fall. I had already noticed that his...
INSOMNIA NIGHTS
Breath of Life Sleepless nights thinking about life, Nights with ghosts dominating my mind. Whole sleepless nights I spend, I feel the dawn of another day coming. Why this great anguish and these nights of tears In a heart so full of life? My thoughts are foolish,...
IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY
Breath of Life If you want to be happy Try to be like the deaf who don't hear, The blind who don't see, So that you don't hear and don't see what makes you suffer. If you want to be happy... Try not to remember moments from the distant past, Moments that never come...
WAITING FOR DAWN
Breath of Life Long were the nights of aloneness,Long were the nights of sorrow and pain.Nights having for companion only worrying thoughts,Draining from me my energy… my dreams. Too much energy of my body was gone from this distress,Too many hours of my life are...
ANOTHER DOLL???
Breath of Life But what can I do? I always thought that I would be the only one who could replace the emptiness that my mother felt when her Três Marias, as she called her three daughters Teresa Maria, Claudia Maria and Paula Maria, got married, as well as her son...
