Verdade Chinesa
Emílio Santiago
Chinese Truth
That was all I wanted from life
A beer, a daring illusion
That would tell me a Chinese truth
With an intention of a sweet kiss on the mouth
The afternoon falls, night raises the magic
Who knows if we'll see each other another day?
Who knows if the dream will remain in the conversation?
Who knows if even life will fulfill this promise?
We do a lot of things
Following the path
That the world has drawn
Following the rules
That someone taught
Following the recipe
Of normal life,
But what is life after all?
Is it doing
What the master commanded?
Is it eating the bread
That the devil kneaded
Losing from life
What is best?
Sit down, make yourself comfortable
Feel at home
Have a drink, take a break
The sadness will pass
Leave it for tomorrow
There's plenty of time
What matters is the feeling
And the love
We have in our hearts
Sit down, make yourself comfortable
Feel at home
Have a drink, take a break
The sadness will pass
Leave it for tomorrow
There's plenty of time
What matters is the feeling
And the love
We have in our hearts
Sit down, make yourself comfortable
Feel at home
Have a drink, take a break
The sadness will pass
Leave it for tomorrow
There's plenty of time
What matters is the feeling
And the love
We have in our hearts
