Jacaranda

If I don’t see her one day, it’s not a day at all
If she breaks her word and flies away from me
I’ll be happy, I swear, because I loved
Before her, her wings
If I owe her nothing, why do I feel this way?

Tired of lying, with the one who left
Of the two, the better-looking one
Losing a shoe, it’s almost midnight
Kisses I never gave her, her song is ending
And I’m still without her embrace
Who wouldn’t want to be her past just to see her smile?

Love from my wet land, let it grow in my chest
The flower of any jacaranda that you love to see
Love, that in the sea I can already hear your laughter returning
And I fly in the foam that breaks to see you arrive

After her caress, I swear, the calm
Forget that face if you see her in profile
Her ivory mouth asks me for a reason
And I said nothing
Her clothes fall off and April is silent with me

Love from my wet land, let it grow in my chest
The flower of any jacaranda that you love to see
Love, that in the sea I can already hear your laughter returning
And I fly in the foam that breaks to see you arrive

I just want to fill you with flowers, color your shadow
Stop the cars just to say you exist
Draw your face in every room
So that people have your word to ask for your heart
That it’s my right to defend the bullet
And if you shoot me, let it hit my heart

Love from my wet land, you’re leaving forever
It grew, without wanting, the seed of so much crying
And the tree you usually look at is my hand on your belly
Oh, my brave girl, I won’t forget you.
