BAREFOOTED
When I got up on stage,
I thought the show is not continuing
after the last song
and suddenly in a big city, starting from start
and separated from memories and family,
like a little girl that discovers
that there's a bigger playground than those
that were in my childhood until not long ago
The city is crowded, noisy and sweaty,
and there's a bit of magic and a bit of fear in this
I said to myself, I'm lucky
He arrived like a thief
and we climbed mountains of joy together
until we got to the peak and the music was quiet
it changed into fakes that did not stop
and I remained quite alone and people treat me like a queen
riding in the magnificent car
when it's sad and cold in the palace
it's sad and cold in the palace...
Wherever I go there'll be a carpet
spread out just for the lady's feet
but I felt barefooted...I felt barefooted...
I want to return to wherever is possible
to a small town, to laughter and quiet
so take me from here, take me from here
And now on stage
I already know that the show still goes on...
