Maria Bethânia "Costumes" lyrics

Translation to:en

Costumes

Eu pensei que pudesse esquecer certos velhos costumesEu pensei que já não me lembrasse de coisas passadasEu pensei que pudesse enganar a mim mesma dizendoQue essas coisas da vida em comum não ficavam marcadas

Não pensei que me fizessem falta umas poucas palavrasDessas coisas simples que dizemos antes de dormirDe manhã o bom-dia na cama, a conversa informalO beijo, depois o café, o cigarro e o jornalOs costumes me falam de coisas e fatos antigosNão esqueço das tardes alegres com nossos amigos

Um final de programa, fim de madrugadaO aconchego da cama, a luz apagadaEssas coisas só mesmo com o tempoSe pode esquecer

Então eu me vejo sozinha, como estou agoraE respiro toda a liberdade que alguém pode terDe repente, ser livre até me assustaMe aceitar sem você certas vezes me custaComo posso esquecer dos costumesSe nem mesmo esqueci de você?

Habits

I thought I could get over some old habitsI thought I wouldn't remember things of the past any moreI thought I could fool myself by sayingThat these things of a life in two didn't leave a mark

I didn't think that I would miss so few wordsThose simple ones, which we said before sleepingThe breakfast in bed in the morning, the casual talkThe kiss, then the coffee, the cigarette and the newspaperThe habits talk to me about things and facts of the pastI don't forget the happy afternoons with our friends

The end of a date, the crack of dawnThe comfort of the bed, the lights offIt's only with time that these thingsCan be forgotten

Then I notice I'm alone, as I am nowAnd I breath in all the freedom someone can haveSuddenly, being free even makes me scaredIt takes me too much to accept that I'm without youHow can I forget our habitsIf I didn't even forgot you?
