Vi, Não Vivi [English translation]

The first time I saw you

My heart didn't make a click 1

If I heard or if I saw, I didn't live it

Your pace, your boredom

I didn't see any sushi or sashimi

Neither Eros 2 nor Aphrodite 3

The first time I saw you

The first things I saw were your limitations

I saw it, I didn't live it

I wasn't attracted to you, I didn't feel it

I didn't get any desire of you, I didn't shiver, I felt

I didn't get any desire, I didn't live it

I didn't feel a frenzy

I didn't get any desire of you, I didn't shiver, I felt

I didn't see any humming bird, I didn't see your "bad trip"

The bells rang, I didn't hear

Neither did I see if there was an invitation

The Sun shone over Búzios and we were there

Acting like if we were the greatest couple alive

I didn't eat you with my eyes

No veni, vidi, vici 4

The first time I saw you

I didn't act so steadily

I talked about Rilke and Leminski

As I had seen your graffitis
