Vem e Vai

Of everything the wind brings
Almost nothing remains
Permanent comes and goes
Things always die, are born
Affections are the same
Loves disappear
But of everything that goes
Something digs in and doesn't budge
Why hide that it's you?

Who appears every time
Messing up my mind
In the smallest distractions
Inside a tic-tac-toe
And it's not that I want peace
I actually like a trouble
But even for me it's too much

Of everything the wind brings
Almost everything we sweep away
Dry leaves, straw and dust
Uncertainty, fear and hunger
The delights of a summer
The memories of an afternoon
What will determine, what the mind keeps or discards?
Mine doesn't let go of you

I don't know where you come from
Much less your name
If I saw you only once
How can I be sleepless?
How did I end up like this
For someone who's just an idea?
That's what I ask you

Who appears every time
Messing up my mind
In the smallest distractions
Inside a tic-tac-toe
And it's not that I want peace
I actually like a trouble
But even for me it's too much

I don't know where you come from
Much less your name
If I saw you only once
How can I be sleepless?
How did I end up like this
For someone who's just an idea?
That's what I ask you
