Foguete

So many times I set off a rocket
Imagining that you were already coming
I stayed here in my corner silent
Listening to the noise
That longing had

So many times I set off a rocket
Imagining that you were already coming
I stayed here in my corner silent
Listening to the noise
That longing had

It's as João Cabral de Mello Neto said
A rooster alone doesn't weave a morning
I felt on my skin the touch of your affection
When I heard the acauã's song
The breeze came like soft and sweet sugar cane
Stole a kiss from me, good to love
How many memories this affection brought
A kiss is worth for what it contains

So many times I set off a rocket
Imagining that you were already coming
I stayed here in my corner silent
Listening to the noise
That longing had

So many times I set off a rocket
Imagining that you were already coming
I stayed here in my corner silent
Listening to the noise
That longing had

I took the lace out of the mothballs
I lined the bed, covered the table
And made a curtain

I swept the house with a fine broom
I set up the hammock on the balcony
Adorned with bougainvillea

You arrived at the break of day
I never felt so much joy
If I had known, I would have set off a rocket
Lit a bonfire
And filled the sky with balloons

Our love is so beautiful and sincere
Like a São João party
