Maninha

Sister

Do you remember the bonfire
Do you remember the balloons
Do you remember the moonlights of the backlands
The clothes on the clothesline, national holiday
And the stars sprinkled in the songs
Do you remember when every little song talked about love

Because I never sang again, oh sister
After he arrived
Do you remember the jackfruit tree
The fruit in the grass

The dreams you told me about
The steps in the basement, remember the ghost
And the souls with the scent of jasmine
Do you remember the garden, oh sister
Covered in flowers

Because today only weeds grow
On the ground he stepped on
Do you remember the future
That we planned
I was so young and still am
Wanting to believe that the day will dawn
Just because a song announced

But don't leave me like this, so alone
Tormenting me
That one day he will leave, sister
To never return
