To Maria do Espirito Santo and José Claudio Ribeiro

 The day has [bad word]  Give me air, I need some…
 This letter in my hand
 I’m staring at my land
 With tears in my eyes

 Take…my…life…
 Take my life!
 I have no regrets for the things that I’ve done
 But their minds are on [bad word]  Now my body’s caught in this strange vibration
 I need a salvation
 Right now!
 My friends, I need you!

 [bad word]  Time knows the score – and plays with my nerves
 I can’t speak no more – losing all my verve
 Oh [bad word] 
 My breath is short – I really need your support
 Sing with me!
 My breath is short – I really need your support
 Sing with me! Sing with me!

 My mind is upside down
 I am feeling very down
 (I) Fear the banknote and the gun
 And the burn of the sun

 She said:
 “I know I’m gonna die
 I’ll watch you from the sky
 Now stand up and be strong!
 Write [bad word] my song”

 I have no regrets for the things that
 I’ve done (Salvation)
 But their minds are on [bad word] (Damnation)
 Now my body’s caught in this strange vibration (Madness calls)

 I need a salvation
 Right now!
 My friends, I need you!

 [bad word] 

 My nerves can be seen by all
 My heart can be heard by all

 It’s louder and louder
 It’s not me any longer

 Is it my turn?

 Ahhhhhhhhhh – Wasting our time
 Ahhhhhhhhhh – Wasting our time

 The speaker says….
 On this morning
 Another one
 Has been found dead on the high street
 leaf has been left upon his mouth like warning… a threat.
 If you’re on my way… on the highway…
 You’re gonna die!!!!!

 When will it happen?
 I can feel a presence.

 I say I’m not worried at all…
 But I’m anxious…so anxious…

 Don’t leave me alone! [bad word] with me and…
 Wash away the sweat from my temples
 Oh! Stay with me! – Stay with me!
 Take a seat and wait with me a little
 Oh! Stay with me! – Stay with me!

 Everybody lives it differently, that’s my way.
 Sing with me! – Sing with me!
 Please help me to face my very last days,
 Oh please: Oh! Sing with me! – Sing with me! Sing!!!
