As I listen to Bebel Gilberto

by Karla   Nov 14, 2011


I beg time to stay:
Bebel Gilberto is singing Simplesmente
and you are here, trying to disarm me
with your words, holding my heart hostage:
I hate my vulnerability.

Cut your finger and mingle your blood
with mine as the wind blows,
carrying away his pretty soap bubbles
in the garden.

Listen to her delicate voice
sending you straight to my universe.
I can find myself in you.
I will always find myself in you.
Bebel knows)

    Mm.. very interesting, Karla :)

    I like the smoothness and the melodious tone you have penned here, and what intrigued me the most is the usage of your favorite Brazilian singer here. It kind of boosted the tempo, and it was definitely a clever step.

    Great.
