There is a knife shine Wherever love comes And no one has the map Of the woman's soul No one leaves with their heart Without bleeding when trying to reveal A wonderful being Between the serpent and the star A great love from the past Turns into aversion And the two side by side Corrode the heart There is no more cutting longing Than that of a great absent love It lasts like a diamond It cuts through our illusion I move on with my life Pretending not to suffer But my numb chest Waits for a good will And I know it won't be a surprise If the future brings me The past back In a woman's face The past back In a woman's face And I know it won't be a surprise If the future brings me The past back In a woman's face The past back In a woman's face -ZÉ RAMALHO-
