Aquarela #2: Colecionador

I’m collecting all your little details
You keep giving them, I’ll be saving your glances
One by one, one by one
I didn’t come into your life just to be another one

I’m collecting all your sweet touches
Keep giving them, I’ll be saving your smiles
One by one, one by one
I didn’t come into your life just to be another one

I’m a collector
I only collect your love
I’ve gathered all your pieces, look at what it’s become
It seems like the love of my life has shown up
Though I’ve been hearing your signs
In the bells of the cathedrals
You’re coming, my dear

I’m decoding your algorithm
I’m fitting you into this love beat, in the rhythm
Of someone who wants you for yesterday, for today, forever

And if we’re just a repeated sticker, that’s alright
I’ll keep repeating you more and more
You complete me, we hit the target
If the sky was the limit, it’s already behind us

I’m a collector of your love
Let them know, let them know that we fit together
With melody and flow, even to put on a show

You completed what I didn’t even know was incomplete
Where were you that you weren’t here near?
Like water in the desert, you arrived
Land in sight and the sea open, my heart signaled
You overflowed me, love

What we have is something rare
It leaves any collector in awe
It’s poetry among so many shallow people
You gave me wings and time flies with you
Don’t be late, I’m ready to live you

Beautiful, I’ll see you next week
Today the fare went up and I had nothing but
A collection of pains, but you healed me, amen
Today I see other colors, other flavors
What I like most is what she has

Look at the irony, I don’t have much to offer
But I share my headphones only with you
And sometimes in the silence of the night, I imagine us two
I’m there daydreaming
I even had to borrow this one from Caetano

Risky move, but the redhead bought it
Today I’m the lucky guy she steals the blanket from
They didn’t count on my cleverness
She shows off her moves, I like it!
I’m Olegário, she’s Rua Augusta
God first, the rest we adjust

I’m collecting all your little details
You keep giving them, I’ll be saving your glances
One by one, one by one
I didn’t come into your life just to be another one

I’m collecting all your sweet touches
Keep giving them, I’ll be saving your smiles
One by one, one by one
I didn’t come into your life just to be another one

Yeah, you’re beautiful even when you don’t want to
In a big shirt with the collar all loose
All laid back, having coffee

So hurry up and pack your bags and come live with me
I’ve already kept you in me and made you my shelter
Your safe harbor so you don’t run into danger
Life is light with you
I’m your love, I’m your best friend

It’s so good to live with you
My heart aches if you’re away
In this crazy life, there’s nothing more beautiful
Than waking up next to my lioness

I know it’s love and it will always be love
With you, with you

I’m a hoarder of your love
Reasons to make you smile? I’ve got plenty
Funny to remember, I had no expectations
Never imagined I’d be sharing day to day

If I say I love lying on the beach sand
And being able to admire the beauty of a blue sky like your gaze
Who could have imagined we’d take our plans off the paper

Your sweet kiss is sweeter than honey itself
Your whole body, a passport that takes me to heaven
To the sound of Djavan, I tell you my love
That from your smile, I want to be the collector

I want you bringing more color to my spring
And I want to be the sun that lights up your summer
That in autumn our love can be reborn
So that in winter my body can warm you

I was used to so little
Resigned to just getting by
And you’re so much more than I asked for in my verses
That I thought it was a prank from the universe

The best part is that this is all really true
And it makes me see life as an opportunity
Unique for us to be happy, I’ll make you happy
Every day I thank for having more than I ever wanted
For having more than I ever wanted

I don’t want to keep you in a jar
I want to show you off to the whole world
The main star of my script
Defined better than a dictionary, true love

Relax, I’m capturing our moments
So we can look back in 50 years
And see that the feeling hasn’t changed
Hasn’t changed at all, at all

I’m collecting all your little details
You keep giving them, I’ll be saving your glances
One by one, one by one
I didn’t come into your life just to be another one

I’m collecting all your sweet touches
Keep giving them, I’ll be saving your smiles
One by one, one by one
I didn’t come into your life just to be another one

I’m a collector
I only collect your love
