Afora

Meus olhos fitam o relógio como se cada minuto que passa fosse me aproximar de você... Fixam-se em uma tela como se dela você pudesse surgir e me sorrir outra vez.
Ah, meus pés percorrem as ruas como se em cada esquina pudessem cruzar os seus, minhas pálpebras caem como se no escuro de minha mente a saudade pudesse morrer.
Meus dedos tamborilam, pernas inquietas, braços impacientes, onde está você?

Meus olhos fitam o relógio como se cada minuto fosse me acender uma luz. Fixam-se em uma imagem que me sorri... Mas é irreal. Aonde fora? Não quero sorrisos por trás de minhas pálpebras. Mas quando as abro só vejo os segundos.. Minutos, e horas.
Ah, meus pés ainda percorrem as ruas... Minhas pernas estão cansadas. Onde está você?

Hallelujah

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
Its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
