A lover knows only humility, he has no choice. He steals into your alley at night, he has no choice. He longs to kiss every lock of your hair, don't fret, he has no choice. In his frenzied love for you, he longs to break the chains of his imprisonment, he has no choice.
A lover asked his beloved: - Do you love yourself more than you love me? Beloved replied: I have died to myself and I live for you. I've disappeared from myself and my attributes, I am present only for you. I've forgotten all my learnings, but from knowing you I've become a scholar. I've lost all my strength, but from your power I am able.
I love myself...I love you. I love you...I love myself.
I am your lover, come to my side, I will open the gate to your love. Come settle with me, let us be neighbours to the stars. You have been hiding so long, endlessly drifting in the sea of my love. Even so, you have always been connected to me. Concealed, revealed, in the unknown, in the un-manifest. I am life itself.
You have been a prisoner of a little pond, I am the ocean and its turbulent flood. Come merge with me, leave this world of ignorance. Be with me, I will open the gate to your love.
I desire you more than food or drink My body my senses my mind hunger for your taste I can sense your presence in my heart although you belong to all the world I wait with silent passïon for one gesture one glance from you.
On the floating, shapeless oceans I did all my best to smile til your singing eyes and fingers drew me loving into your eyes.
And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me; Let me enfold you."
Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you. Did I dream you dreamed about me? Were you here when I was full sail?
Now my foolish boat is leaning, broken love lost on your rocks. For you sang, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow." Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow. I'm as puzzled as a newborn child. I'm as riddled as the tide. Should I stand amid the breakers? Or shall I lie with death my bride?
Hear me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you." "Here I am. Here I am, waiting to hold you."
Era eu a convencer-te que gostas de mim
E tu a convenceres-te que não é bem assim...
Era eu a mostrar-te o meu lado mais puro
E tu a argumentares os teus inevitáveis
Eras tu a dançares em pleno dia
E eu encostado como quem não vê
Eras tu a falar para esconder a saudade
E eu a esconder-me do que não se dizia
Afinal quebramos os dois...
Desviando os olhos por sentir a verdade
Juravas a certeza da mentira
Mas sem queimar demais
Sem querer extinguir o que já se sabia
Eu fugia do toque como do cheiro
Por saber que era o fim da roupa vestida
Que inventara no meio do escuro onde estava
Por ver o desespero na cor que trazias...
Afinal quebramos os dois...
Eras eu a despir-te do era pequeno
E tu a puxares-me para um lado mais perto
Onde se contam historias que nos atam
Ao silencio dos lábios que nos mata...!
Eras tu a ficar por não saberes partir...
E eu a rezar para que desaparecesses...
Era eu a rezar para que ficasses...
E tu a ficares enquanto saías
...Não nos tocamos enquanto saías
Não nos tocamos enquanto saímos
Não nos tocamos e vamos fugindo
Porque quebramos como crianças
Afinal quebramos os dois...
...É quase pecado o que se deixa...
...Quase pecado o que se ignora...
