sobre Uma faca só lâmina (ou serventia das ideias fixas)
de João Cabral de Melo Neto

Hold my hand, my heart is a missing plane
it flies away, babe
it fears not to stay
longer, a spring will bloom and fade


(to blossom dreams in colors, life in days)


I want you to know
it doesn't really matter what they say


Hold me tight, our love is a safe bay


I've sailed night and day
it felt dark and cold, just to say
but there was you, dear
a clear sky above my way


(blue as the sea, when it smiles and waves away)


You've been lost, babe, I can tell
your eyes 'came pale, your voice so gray
but now it's all changed, babe, we've flown and made
take my word when I say, I'm here to stay


Hold my hand, love, together we must leave this shade
