Lyrics
Renata Maria
Ela, era ela era ela no centro da tela daquela manhã
tudo o que não era ela se desvaneceu
Cristo, montanhas, florestas, acácias, ipês
Pranchas coladas na crista das ondas,
as ondas suspensas no are
pássaros cristalizados no branco do céu
e eu, atolado na areia, perdia meus pés
Músicas imaginei, mas o assombro gelou
Na minha boca-as palavras que-eu ia falar
nem uma brisa soprou
enquanto Renata Maria saía do mar
Dia após dia na praia com olhos vazados de já não a ver
Quieto como um pescador a juntar seus anzóis
ou como algum salva-vidas no banco dos réus
Noite na praia deserta deserta deserta, daquela mulher
praia repleta de rastros em mil direções
penso que todos os passos perdidos são meus
Eu já sabia, meu Deus, tão fulgurante visão
não se produz duas vezes num mesmo lugar
Mas que danado fui eu enquanto Renata Maria saía do mar
Saía do mar
Lyrics translation
Renata Maria
She was she was she in the center of the screen that morning
all that was not she faded
Christ, mountains, forests, acacias, IPES
Boards glued to the crest of the waves,
the suspended waves in the are
birds crystallized in the White of the sky
and I, stuck in the sand, lost my feet
Songs I imagined, but the wonder froze
In my mouth-the words that-I was going to speak
not a breeze blew
while Renata Maria left the sea
Day after day on the beach with leaked eyes no longer to see
Quiet as a fisherman to join his hooks
or as some lifeguard in the dock
Night on the beach deserted deserted deserted, of that woman
beach full of trails in a thousand directions
I think all the Lost steps are mine
I already knew, my God, such a dazzling sight
it does not occur twice in the same place
But what a freak I was while Renata Maria was leaving the sea
Out of the sea
