Recanto Escuro

Gal Costa Gal Costa

Dark Corner

I come from a dark corner
The sun, light shining down
From the other side of the wall
I won't jump

I reach the gates of the city
And I’m not looking to do much
I wait, neither happy nor sad
Let it happen

I don’t jump but I’m carried
By wings we don’t have
The light doesn’t blind my eyes
I can’t see well

Soon I’ll only go out at night
The moon doesn’t tear at my heart
Cool jazz makes me happy and that’s it
I can’t help it

Alcohol just makes me cry
They invite me to change the world
It’s easy: no need to think
Or see the bottom

The floor of the military prison
My heart a furnace
Just had to pose and sing
Tied to the money

But it’s always the dark corner
Only God knows the struggle I faced
Woman, to pleasures, future
I kept to myself

Sacred things remain
Not even the Devil can shake them
Spirit is what finally results
From body, soul, deeds: to sing
