Grito [English translation]
Grito [English translation]
Silence!
Of the silence, I make a scream
My whole body hurts
Let me cry a little.
Wandering from shadow to shadow
There's repressed sky today
from shadow to shadow
I have lost my senses
Sky above, I claim
Here I miss light
Here I miss a star
And one cries more
when lives to follow it
And I,...
of whom sun has forgotten
Am the one whom the world lost
I only cry by now
Because the dead don't cry anymore
Loneliness!
Not even you are unabridged in me
There's always a companion
A deep bitterness
Oh loneliness,
you, who were scorpion
Oh loneliness,
and stinged yourself the head
Goodbye
I went away to far beyond this life already
For what I were someday, I feel thirsty already
I am sorrowful shadow,
laid in a wall
Goodbye
Life which so long lasts
Come, oh death, which so long dawdles
Oh, how it hurts in me
the loneliness, almost a madness
- Artist:Amália Rodrigues
