Negro Amor
Gal Costa
Black Love
Go on, get out, grab everything you can take
Walk on, everything that seems yours is good to hold on to now
Your ugly, crazy kid is left alone
Crying like fire in the sunlight
The alchemists are already in the hallway
And there’s nothing left, black love
The road is for you, the game, and the indecency
Gather everything you got by coincidence
And the street artist who walks alone
Draws craziness on your sheet
Under your feet, the sky has cracked too
And there’s nothing left, black love
Your seasick sailors are abandoning the sea
Your unarmed warriors won’t fight anymore
Your boyfriend is already leaving
Taking the blankets, and now what?
Even the rug flew away without you
And there’s nothing left, black love
Leave the stones on the path behind
Forget the dead, they won’t rise again
The bum begs on the street
Wearing the same clothes that were yours
Strike another match, another life, another light, another color
And there’s nothing left, black love
Your seasick sailors are abandoning the sea
Your unarmed warriors won’t fight anymore
Your boyfriend is already leaving
Taking the blankets, and now what?
Even the rug flew away without you
And there’s nothing left, black love
Leave the stones on the path behind
Forget the dead, they won’t rise again
The bum begs on the street
Wearing the same clothes that were yours
Strike another match, another life, another light, another color
And there’s nothing left, black love
And there’s nothing left, black love
And there’s nothing left, black love
