La Pequeña Novia Del Carioca

One day later
(After you)
I crossed my fingers
The boat passed by
And the river finally stood still

It was just a story
That helped pass the time
A house of cards came crashing down
And cheap words

In the air between us
A broken glass sparkled
Bad luck, my palm foretold a dark fate

A sweet rosemary liqueur
Was the crazy bad idea
You’ll find out through this song
For the carioca!

I don’t dream of you anymore
Another flower has fallen from the sky
I’m gonna steal this love song
And some comfort

In the soft light of the Moon
I saw your back
There’s a place there for footprints
And a nighttime mole

We bet wrong
You’ll be happier wandering
I was very unkind
I saw nothing new in your eyes
