Apelo

Appeal

Ah, my love, don't go away
See how life cries, see how sad this song is
No, I beg you, don't leave
Because the pain you feel now, can only be forgotten in forgiveness
Ah, my beloved, forgive me
For even though the sadness I caused still hurts you
I beg you not to destroy so many things that are yours
For a wrong I have already paid for

Ah, my beloved, if you knew
The sadness in the prayers
That I make to you while crying
If you knew in a moment all the regret
How everything saddened
If you knew how sad it is
To realize that you left
Without even saying goodbye

Ah, my love, you would come back
And once again fall
Crying in my arms

(spoken by Vinícius de Moraes)

Suddenly, laughter turned into tears,
silent and white like the mist
And from the united mouths came the foam
And from the splayed hands came the astonishment.

Suddenly, calm turned into wind,
That undid the last flame from the eyes,
And from passion came the premonition,
And from the motionless moment came the drama.

Suddenly, not more than suddenly,
What was made lover turned sad
And what was content turned lonely.

The close friend turned distant,
Life became a wandering adventure,
Suddenly, not more than suddenly.

(again in the rhythm of the music)

Ah, my love, you would come back
And once again fall
Crying in my arms.

Ah, my love, you would come back
And once again fall
Crying in my arms.
