Desfado

Destiny wants me not to believe in destiny
And my fate is to have no fate at all
To sing it well without even feeling it
To feel it like no one else, but to have no feeling at all

Oh, what sadness, this joy of mine
Oh, what joy, this immense sadness
To wait for a day when I won't wait another day
For the one who never comes and who was here

Oh, how I miss
Missing having something to miss
Longing for someone
Who is here and doesn't exist
Feeling sad
Just for feeling so good
Happy to feel good
Just because I'm so sad

Oh, if I could not sing, oh if I could
And regret not having any more regrets
Maybe I would hear in the silence I'd make
A voice that would be mine singing someone inside

Oh, what a misfortune this luck that assists me
Oh, but what luck to live so unfortunate
In the uncertainty that nothing else is certain
Except the great certainty of not being certain of anything

Oh, how I miss
Missing having something to miss
Longing for someone
Who is here and doesn't exist
Feeling sad
Just for feeling so good
Happy to feel good
Just because I'm so sad
