OUTRA METADE
((CHEGANÇA))
(ANCHIETA DALI)
MODAS NÃO ME DIZEM FLORES
NEM VIRTUDES
PECO PELOS DESATINOS
QUE A VIDA NOS URDE
CALOS PELOS PÉS
E PELAS MÃOS
MAS NÃO CALO O QUE ARDE
NA CONTRA MÃO DE UM HOMEM
A SEMPRE OUTRA METADE
MENINOS CODUZINDO SONHOS
DESTINOS CARREGANDO FARDOS
A PARTE QUE LHE DÓI
É A MESMA QUE ME PARTE
você ME FAZ EM DOIS
MAS NÃO ME FERE À ARTE
POIS SEI QUE TODAS AS MANHÃS
SÃO PRIMOGÊNITAS DAS TARDES
É COMO SE AMAR
FOSSE QUESTÃO DE SORTE
DESAFIANDO A DOR
PARA SENTIR-SE FORTE
APRIMORANDO O RISO
PRA NÃO TEMER A MORTE
O TEMPO BOM PASSOU PRA NÓS
DISTINTO E SEM ALARDE
ESPERO SIM QUE você ME PERDOE
POR TER CHEGADO TARDE
Translation
Fashions don't speak to me of flowers
Nor virtues
I err for the follies
That life weaves for us
Calluses on the feet
And on the hands
But I don't silence what burns
Against the grain of a man
The always other half
Boys leading dreams
Destinies carrying burdens
The part that hurts you
Is the same that breaks me
You split me in two
But you don't wound my art
For I know that all mornings
Are firstborns of the afternoons
It's as if loving
Were a matter of luck
Defying pain
To feel strong
Perfecting the smile
So as not to fear death
The good time passed for us
Distinct and without alarm
I truly hope you forgive me
For having arrived late
It's as if loving
Were a matter of luck
Defying pain
To feel strong
Perfecting the smile
So as not to fear death
The good time passed for us
Distinct and without alarm
I truly hope you forgive me
For having arrived late
