O Homem
Raul Seixas
The Man
The moment I was about to leave, I decided to turn back
I’m coming back
I know it’s not time to go, it’s better to stay
I’m gonna stay
I know there are people singing, people waiting for the time to arrive
I’m gonna arrive
I come with murky waters, I took so many turns just to be able to sing
This song of mine that’s no good
That so many people hate
But this is all I have left
At this party, at this party
I
Am gonna boil
Like a volcano on fire, like your bed that makes me shake
I’m gonna shake
Like a ground of earthquakes, like a distant love I don’t know how to live
I’m gonna live
I’ll be able to count my kids, walk the tracks, this is for real
Because if one star is gonna shine
Another one has to fade away
I want to be alive to see
The sun rise, the sun rise, the sun has risen
I
Am gonna rise
Through the back elevator, that carries the world without even feeling it
I’m gonna feel
That my pain in my chest, that I hid well is now gonna come out
I’m gonna emerge
In a crazy storm ready to sweep the streets I’m gonna follow
The streets I’m gonna follow, the streets I’m gonna follow
