Not Even a Day - Djavan (Nem um Dia)
A cold day.
A good place to read a book.
And the thought there on you,
I can't live without you.
A sad day.
All fragility affects.
And the thought there on you,
And everything divides me.
Far from the happiness of all your lights.
I desire you like air,
More than everything.
You are morning in the nature of flowers.
Even for all the wealth of the Arab sheikhs,
I won't forget you for not a single day.
Not even a day.
I hope with the power of thought
recreate the light that will bring you to me.
And everything will be born more beautiful.
Green links blue and yellow
with all the colours to ornament grey loves.
Music in an image
A good place to read a book is my drawing board.
A good first-page debut ritual is to have a cup of tea.
Notes
This song is on my Passion Blue playlist in my Apple Music Profile.
Translating is transcreating. I translated not word for word but the poetic meaning of the music, being faithful to the author’s probable intention. If you have suggestions for improvement, please get in touch by clicking here.
