Paquetá

Ah, if I can bear to hear
Another no, maybe a perhaps
Or a yes
I deserve it at last.

It's because I already know by heart
What about which
And howevers, about the related, think well
Or don't think like that

I got angry in a whim, I know
So much stubbornness is just a tantrum
That this insistence was me, I didn't see
And I hesitated, I did the worst
Of the love amulet that I made
I left it around
I neglected it, almost let it go
I wanted to let it fall

(tsk tsk)

But I didn't
I caught it in the air
And today I know
Without you, I'm in trouble.

Ouch! don't leave me here
The night chill hurts
I know, I got lost
But hey, I only find myself in you.

What a disrespect, intrigue, awful!
A whim this feud; and bad
From the mess that confusion
And from that, well, this knot was made.

And from this deception I saw gleam
From afar your lighthouse
My lost island is there
My sunset.
