Melancholy

I couldn't be more delicate even if my skin was made out of flower petals
Then I could at least endure water, but I'm so delicate your teardrops hurt me
And every tear is a slow torture, and by every tear my heart is broken

Every sigh comes from you as a heavy wind, pushing me down a cliff
And there's a horrible agony that comes with that fall...
The thought of your sadness is so terrifying, easily makes me fall into madness!

I couldn't be any more delicate, when one sad look can rip me apart
For I cannot bear your joyless eyes nor the melancholy they carry,
It shatters my soul into so many pieces, and so I die at every single glance...

Mizéria

Nunka n odja si rostu
e sta sukundidu na meiu mundu
e sta maskaradu na sukuru
na kel tchoru di mininu
na kel olhar xeiu disisperu

Nkonxel na stória ki kontadu
nreconhesel na um odju cheiu d'agu
tudu dia e ta vizita koitadu
sem respetu pa porta fitxadu

Ntem impreson ma el e mudu
se gritu ta konfundi ku silensiu....
e ta iziji tcheu sacrifisiu
e ta ataka sem nenhum avizu

E bem sima um castigu

poi guentis ta leba vida di impruvizu

es ta tenta distrail ku um sorizu

mas ka ta da pa disfarsa mizéria!

Pride

I just got a brand new heart for you to step on

That's all I came to say
And then just walk away
But know someday you'll pay
For what you did... someday...

I have my scars left for you to look upon

But I haven't lost my pride
So my misery I hide
As I leave your side
… my tears half-dried

I took my heart out and put a stone on

And it won't be in vain
I shall escape the pain
Won't happen again
You won't fuck with my brain

I won't ever be easy to fall upon...

E se....

Ando aos tropeções, a estrada parece-me torta

perseguem-me as dúvidas, indecisões

e persitem as incertezas, inconclusões

Avanço com esforço no meio das questões

e hesito, num momento de fraqueza hesito

Deixo-me invadir pela aflição,

aquela infeliz sensação

que me faz perder a direcção

E para meu desespero, vem com o vento

um sussurro, quase inaudível

uma pergunta, deveras terrível:

E se.... ???
