Água de beber

I wanted to love but was afraid
and wanted to save my heart,
but love knows a secret:
fear kills a heart.

A drink of water,
a drink of water, my friends.
A drink of water,
a drink of water, my friends.

I never did a thing so certain:
I learned of forgiveness.
My house is open.
I opened the doors to my heart.

A drink of water,
a drink of water, my friends.
A drink of water,
a drink of water, my friends.

I was always so certain
I was only disillusioned,
that love is a sadness
too painful for the heart to bear.

A drink of water,
a drink of water, my friends.
A drink of water,
a drink of water, my friends.
