Sete Desejos
Alceu Valença
Seven Wishes
Starting over from the ashes
I write such clear verses
I project seven wishes in the cigarette smoke
I think of the white lace blouse I gave her
In the curve of her hips
When she's astride the saddle
I remember a red flamboyant tree
In the chaos of the afternoon
The packed blue suitcase
That projected the journey
Starting over from the ashes
I'm recomposing the landscape
I remember a red flamboyant tree
In the chaos of the afternoon
And now I think of the streak
Of that yellow light
That dripped from the roof
To gild her eyes
Starting over from the ashes
I'm reborn for her
And now I think of the streak
Of that yellow light
And now I think that the road
Of life, has a round trip
No one escapes destiny
This train that transports us
And now I think that the road
Of life, has a round trip
No one escapes destiny
This train that transports us
