Lyrics
Três pessoas vieram me pedir
Não morra que o mundo quer saber
As coisas que a vida não te impôs
A morte que sempre a ti perdeu
O amor que teus olhos sabem dar
Com o pranto calado me casei
De noivo do pobre me tornei
No crisma de busca assumi
O quarto fechado que afastei
Que um banho de cinzas batizou
E o mais que consigo é dizer
Com o pranto calado me casei
Um banho de cinzas batizou
O quarto fechado que afastei
No crisma de busca assumi
Dois olhos que ainda não achei
Lyrics translation
Three people came to ask me
Don't die that the world wants to know
The things life didn't impose on you
The death that always lost you
The love that your eyes know how to give
With silent tears I married
From the poor man's fiance I became
No confirmation of search I assumed
The closed room I pushed away
That a bath of ashes baptized
And the most I can say is
With silent tears I married
A bath of ashes baptized
The closed room I pushed away
No confirmation of search I assumed
Two eyes I haven't found yet
