If I want to talk to God

If I want to talk to God ( Se eu quiser falar com Deus - Gilberto Gil; versão inglês beta por Yuri Cavour Oliveira. Y.C.O.)

If I want to talk to God, I have to stand alone;
I have to turn of the light
I have to silence the voice
I have to find the peace
I have to loose the knots
Of the shoes, and of the ties,
Of desires and afraids

I have to forget the date
I have to lose the sight
I have to have empty hands
And to bare the soul and the body

If I want to talk to God, I have to accept the pain;
I have to eat the bread
That the devil kneaded
I have to turn myself into a dog
I have to lick the floor
Of the palaces, castles,
Sumptuous of my own dream

I have to see myself... blue...
I have to feel the fear
And despite an abysmal evil
I have to delight my heart

If I want to talk to God,
I have to venture myself
I have to go to heaven(s)
Without strings to hold on
I have to say goodbye
Turn my back on, to walk
Rightly, to the way
That in the end will come to nothing
nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing,
nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing,
That I tought that I was looking for...
