Leila [English translation]

I'm thinking about you

I want to see you

But at this time you must be

Picking the kids up at school

Then getting home

See the remains of everything

And when the silence comes

Puff one out and listen to Coltrane

I don't do that anymore but I understand it very well

I love you hair

I love your voice

I love your style

I love your peace of mind

The plumber has let you down

There's a meeting of the condominium

The telephone makes no call

And the shower is shocking

There's a flying cockroach on the kids' room

And the brats are going crazy yelling

For them it's all fun

But you know what it is to be frightened, frightened, frightened

Of flying cockroaches

And you say in that way of yours:

- Oh, I need a man!

And I say: - Ah, Leila, me too!

And we laugh

You arrange your photographs for expo

You promise to work more with the computer

And finish your video until September

Get the car at the mechanic

See the bank account, credit-card, taxes

Saturday there'll be fish at Analú's

And Sunday, hotdog with the kids at Fernanda's

I love your eyes

I love your strength

I love to say your name: Leila

Sometimes things get rough, my friend

But you know how to face the beauty of this life

I love to say your name:

Leila, Leila…
