Não Vale A Pena
Maria Rita
Not Worth It
It got difficult
All that
None of that
My old addiction to dreaming remains
Jump from cliff to cliff
Bones of the trade
Pay to see the invisible
And then see
What a shame
But you're not worth it
It's not worth a twinge of this pain
It doesn't fit as a rhyme for a poem
So small
But it comes and goes and poisons
And condemns me to resentment
Suddenly the level drops
And I feel like an imbecile
Repeating, repeating, repeating
Like a broken record
The old beaten text
Of unloved lovers
Of ill-lived loves
And the terror of being left
Poking, remembering, reopening
The same old wound
And it's to avoid relapse
That I don't let myself forget
What a shame
But you're not worth it
It's not worth a twinge of this pain
It doesn't fit as a rhyme for a poem
So small
But it comes and goes and poisons
And condemns me to resentment
Suddenly the level drops
And I feel like an imbecile
Repeating, repeating, repeating
Like a broken record
The old beaten text
Of unloved lovers
Of ill-lived loves
And the terror of being left
Poking, remembering, reopening
The same old wound
And it's to avoid relapse
That I don't let myself forget
What a shame
But you're not worth it
