Tanta Saudade

Djavan Djavan

So Much Longing

It was so much longing
It's to kill
I even got sick
I even got sick, girl
If I don't kill the longing
Yeah, let it be
Longing kills us
Longing kills us

I wanted to know what desire is
Where it comes from
I went to the center of the earth
And it's beyond
I looked for a way out
Love has none
I was going crazy
Crazy, crazy about loving
I wanted to reach the limit
Of a passion
Bail out the ocean
With my hand
Find the salt of life
And loneliness
Exhaust the appetite
All the appetite of the heart

But the longing came back
Yeah, to stay
Oh, I faced it head-on
Oh, I faced it head-on, girl
If I stay in the longing
Yeah, let it be
Longing swallows us
Longing swallows us, girl

Oh love, my mirage
My horizon line
It's mountain after mountain, it's mountain
The source that never dries up
Oh, longing, I'm still young
That well has no bottom
It's a world and inside a world
And inside a world and inside a world
And inside is the world that takes me
