Ballad of Lisbon

Ballad of Lisbon

In every corner you go

In every corner I see you

This is the city that has

Your name written on the quay

The city where I draw

Your face with sun and Tagus

Caravels took you

Caravels lost you

This is the city where you arrive

In the mornings of your absence

So close to me so far

So out of being present

This is the city where you are

Like who doesn't come back anymore

So deep inside me that

Never nobody for nobody

Each day you return

Every day you go

In every street you run away from me

In every street I see you

So sick of the trip

Your sun face and Tagus

This is the city where you live

Like who is passing by

Sometimes I ask if

I sometimes ask who

This is the city where you are

Who never comes with

So far from me so close

Nobody like this for nobody
