Balada Astral
Quando Deus pôs o mundo
E o céu a girar
Bem lá no fundo
Sabia que por aquele andar
Eu te havia de encontrar
Minha mãe, no segundo
Em que aceitou dançar
Foi na cantiga
Dos astros a conspirar
Que do seu cósmico vagar
Mandaram o teu pai
Sorrir para a tua mãe
Para que tu
Existisses também
Era um dia bonito
E na altura, eu também
O infinito
Ainda se lembrava bem
Do seu cósmico refém
Eu que pensava
Que ia só comprar pão
Tu que pensavas
Que ias só passear o cão
A salvo da conspiração
Cruzámos caminhos
Tropeçámos num olhar
E o pão nesse dia
Ficou por comprar
Ensarilharam-se
As trelas dos cães
Os astros, os signos
Os desígnios e as constelações
As estrelas, os trilhos
E as tralhas dos dois
Astral Ballad
When God put the world
And the sky to spin
Deep down
He knew that by that walk
I would find you
My mother, in the second
That she accepted to dance
It was in the song
Of the stars conspiring
That from their cosmic wandering
They sent your father
To smile at your mother
So that you
Would exist too
It was a beautiful day
And at that time, I too
The infinite
Still remembered well
Its cosmic hostage
I thought
I was just going to buy bread
You thought
You were just going to walk the dog
Safe from the conspiracy
Our paths crossed
We stumbled upon a glance
And the bread that day
Remained unpurchased
The leashes of the dogs
Got tangled
The stars, the signs
The destinies and the constellations
The stars, the paths
And the belongings of both
