Lundu da Saudade

Sometimes I feel your hand holding mine
In the moments when I'm all alone
You come to console my heart
Resting like a little bird

Could this morning's blue be just a dream?
If the path I walk is made of stone?
Come tell me in this song
If I must kill or die, if it's thorns or it's roses grown

I know you'll fly far away
But your faithful student here
Goes and returns to say
If happiness can be near
Oh, tell me, dear bird

Where does this river flow into the sea?
What news do you bring from afar?
If my fate is hanging by a thread
Fly, little bird, don’t delay to come back

And the further I walk, the darker it becomes
What will be revealed when light breaks free?
If all this life is a trial to overcome
Fly, little bird, and tell me what will be

Sometimes I feel your hand holding mine
In the moments when I'm all alone
You come to console my heart
Resting like a little bird

Could this morning's blue be just a dream?
If the path I walk is made of stone?
Come tell me in this song
If I must kill or die, if it's thorns or it's roses grown

I know you'll fly far away
But your faithful student here
Goes and returns to say
If happiness can be near
Oh, tell me, dear bird
