KITES
Kites suddenly turned into
airplanes of song
The child loses a dream.
The man, someone,
The people,
what are they from?
Even when you're there, I want
you close, as if by my side,
And something that you sang,
I remember,
and I wanted a song.
I'm walking between the houses,
A slow dance.
[CHORUS]
Afterward
sitting down to remember
My childhood,
but a gray airplane
Shakes up all thoughts.
You're there,
so how can I come?
Sailing in planes
touching countries,
Foreign words,
the sun in the pockets,
Reminding me from where they
Always ride on the back of the kite.
Maybe on the back of the kite
I'll come
in order to tell you the song
But there is no string to pull,
There is no wind in the sky.
The boy cries again,
The man is not waiting.
[CHORUS] 2x
Kites come,
kites go.
The boy I was,
the man I am.
Maybe you too, [maybe]
you never were.
