O Quereres [English translation]
O Quereres [English translation]
Where you want a gun, I'm a coconut tree
Where you want money, I am passion
Where you want to rest, I am desire
And where I am only desire, you just don't want it
Where you want nothing, there's everything
And where you fly so high, I am the ground
and where you step on the ground, my soul jumps
And wins liberty on the amplitude
Where you want a family, I am crazy
Where you want a romantic man, I'm bourgeois
Where you want Leblon, I am Pernambuco
Where you want an eunuch man, I am a stallion
Where you want yes and no, I am maybe
And where you see, I just can't see any reason
Where you want a wolf, I am your brother
And where you want a cowboy, I am Chinese
Oh rough wishing flower
Oh rough flower, rough flower
Where you want acting I am spirit
Where you want tenderness, I am pure lust
Where you want free poems, I am decasyllable
And where you search for an angel, I am a woman
Where you want pleasure, I am what hurts
And where you want torture, I am gentleness
Where you want a home, I'm revolution
Where you want a bandit, I am a hero
I wish I could love you, my love
I wish I made ourselves the sweetest prison
I wish I found the fairest adequation
All in metric, rhyme and never pain
But life is actual and biased
And look at the trap love has caused me
I want you (and you don't want) like I am
I don't want (and you don't want) like you are
Oh rough wishing flower
Oh rough flower, rough flower
Where you want an election rally, I am amusement Arcade
Where you want a romance, I'm rock n roll
Where you want the moon, I'm the sun
And where there's pure nature, I am insecticide
Where you want mystery, I am light
Where you want a tiny place, I am the whole world
Where you want Lent, I am February
And where you want a coconut tree, I am a cannon
When you want and when you are always in the mood
Of what is in me, is so unequal to me
Makes me wish your good, wish your evil
Good to you, bad for the way you want me
Infinitely personal and I am wanting to want you with no end
And I am wanting to learn totally about you
About the wanting that there is and there isn't in me
