Eu Seguro [English translation]

When time is a patch,

Each step a deep well

And this bed we sleep in

Is a wall we wake up in

I'll hold on

And my arm holds and offers the hand that rocks the wall.

When the wonder is made of fear,

The expected belongs to the world

And the thorn isn't tamed,

That of the flesh we share,

I'll hold on.

The sustenance is strong when the intent is pure.

As I redeem the time,

And as I cover each well

And this stone we sleep on,

Is yet the rock we settle in,

I'll hold on.

I'll leave to the stones this cold* heart.

When fear starts leaving

And as I heal from the world

From that heritage I'l make a mantle

On which we'll both scar

And I hold on.

I don't fear the old grievance that I mend.

Shabby, lax hugs

Through which our vows escape.

I burn the dry branches,

I stroke, by fire, the embarassements

And I hold on,

I spread that flame to each dark corner.

When time is healing

Each step a strong embrace

And the vow we agreed upon

Is the love we wake up in

I hold on:

Sink my toes firmly in the sand and the fruit is rife.

When wonder doubles

The expected bigger then death,

When we'll have healed the thorn

In the body we share

I'll hold on.

What is then born won't be premature.

Unisons** in sleep

The same shift and same master,

A bed and no throne.

Even if disparagement springs

I hold on,

For the present is the seed of the future.

*literally "this hard heart"

** as in "united"
