FrOm: Lisbon story 1995
“When a guitar trills
Quando uma guitarra trina
In the hands of a good player
Nas mãos de um bom tocador
The guitar itself teaches
A própria guitarra ensina
Singing whoever it is
A cantar seja quem for
I want my coffin
Eu quero que o meu caixão
Have a bizarre shape
Tenha uma forma bizarra
The shape of a heart
A forma de um coração
The shape of a guitar
A forma de uma guitarra
Guitar, dear guitar
Guitarra, guitarra querida
I come to cry with you
Eu venho chorar contigo
I feel life is easier
Sinto mais suave a vida
When you cry with me
Quando tu choras comigo
”
From the Way Back, 1995. Well, not that Way Back, but getting Way Backer all the time.
Great lead up, just keeps building, and then she gets her chance, and really makes the piece.
