Esquecimento

While you stop and wait
I walk, invade
I open the door and enter

While you stay silent
I argue, I speak
I shout, I confront

In the corner of this room it gets stuck
I call, I hit
I make mistakes and I try

While you say: Wait
Anxious I stay and say
I don't understand

I don't know why you
Insist on delaying
I want you to
Say it now

Whether in Japan
Jamaica or Jalapão
In Jaraguá or in Guinea
By carriage or truck
By car or walking on foot
I'll go

On the bench without an electric guitar
With a guitar, I write this lament
Because as water wets the stone
My song ends your forgetfulness

I don't know why you
Insist on delaying
I want you to
Say it now

Whether in Japan
Jamaica or Jalapão
In Jaraguá or in Guinea
By carriage or truck
By car or walking on foot
I'll go
