Tua Cantiga
Chico Buarque
Your Song
When you miss me
When your throat tightens
Just take a sigh
I'll quickly
Console you
If your watchman gets restless
And, down the road, leads you
Just whisper my name
With your perfume
To attract me
If your nights have no end
If a heartless person makes you cry
Let a handkerchief fall
I'll reach you
Anywhere
When your heart pleads
Or when your whim demands
I'll leave wife and children
And on my knees
I'll follow you
In our house
You'll be queen
You may be cruel
You'll throw tantrums
Bother me
And I'll always be happier
Silently
I'll lay you down
In the bed I made
Stepping on feathers
Every morning
I'll wake you up
When you miss me
When your throat tightens
Just take a sigh
I'll quickly
Console you
If your watchman gets restless
And, down the road, leads you
Just whisper my name
With your perfume
To attract me
Among sighs
Another name
May escape your lips
I'll be jealous
Even of myself
In the mirror, embracing you
But your lover
I'll always be
More than I am today
Or these rhymes
I didn't write
And no one ever loved
If your nights have no end
If a heartless person makes you cry
Let a handkerchief fall
I'll reach you
Anywhere
And when our time passes
When I'm no longer here
Remember, my dear
This song
I made for you
