Daniel Na Cova dos Leões [English translation]

That bitter taste from your body

Stayed in my mouth for a while longer

From bitter then, salty turned to sweet

As soon as your strong and lagging scent

Made home in my arms and still gentle

Strong, blind and tight, made it known

That it was yet a lot and too little

I make ours my earnest secret

And I challenge the dissonant instinct

Insecurity doesn’t assault me when I make mistakes

And your moment starts to become my instant

And your fear of having fear of having fear

Doesn’t turn my strength into turmoil

Your body is my mirror and in you I sail

And I know that your flow has no direction

But as sure as the mistake of being a motorboat

And insist in using the oars

Is the damage done by the water when one drowns

And the lifeguard isn’t there because we didn’t see them
