Carta de Guerra

I saw that picture that you sent
You were so beautiful, just as you left me
From here, I’ll go to the altar
Life here is good like it says in the newspaper
I just miss a normal day
When the uniform was only to win you over

So many poets with guns in their hands
Spend words
Leaving ammunition
But sometimes

I just want to go home to you
I just want to go home to you
I just want to go home to you
To you

You know that I'm not a man that prays
But I feel with me all of your prayers
You see, if I come back is for the altar
Is a beautiful land, you would like it
Maybe one day you’ll come back to visit with me
If someday this war let us

So many women holding the line
But there’s only a Maria for this João
But sometimes

I just want to go home to you
I just want to go home to you
I just want to go home to you
To you

So many poets with guns in their hands
But there’s only a Maria for this João
But sometimes

I just want to go home to you
I just want to go home to you
I just want to go home to you
To you
