A Carta
Marília Mendonça
The Letter
I am writing this letter in tears
I wander around the corners
Because I didn't find the courage
To look into your eyes
It's been a while
That one thing inside here
It woke up and it's so strong
That I couldn't tell you
By the time you read it I'll be far away
Don't think I'm such a coward
I just didn't want to see you cry
Sorry, friend, these things happen
Give the boys a kiss
Because I'm not going back anymore
How could I give her this letter?
How will I leave that house forever
If I'm already happy, if I already have love
Do I already live in peace?
And that's why I decided I'm going to keep her
My ticket, please cancel
Go alone, I won't go anymore
When I arrived at the gate of my house
As if I had wings
I felt like a child
I felt like flying
I almost went through the window
My wife there so beautiful
I gave a strong, long hug
And I started to cry
And with the tears the words came
And they rolled like stones
And she just listened to me
As you wipe away my tears with a kiss
He revealed that he already knew
But I would forgive
How could I give her this letter?
How will I leave that house forever
If I'm already happy, if I already have love
Do I already live in peace?
And that's why I decided I'm going to keep her
My ticket, please cancel
Go alone, I won't go anymore
How could I give her this letter?
How will I leave that house forever
If I'm already happy, if I already have love
Do I already live in peace?
And that's why I decided I'm going to keep her
My ticket, please cancel
Go alone, I won't go anymore
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Go alone, I won't go anymore
