Nice, Nice
José Antônio Resende de Almeida Prado
Nice, nice, nice
I have everything I want
I have the fire of constellations
Extinct millennia ago.
And the over-short trace
What's that? It is over!
For so many cadent stars
Dawn dims, and I retain
The most pure tears of the dawn.
The day comes, and day on
I keep possessing
The great secret of death.
Nice, nice, nice
I have everything I want
I don't want ecstasy nor torments
I don't want something which
Earth gives only by working,
Gifts from angels are useless
Angels cannot understand men.
I don't want to love,
I don't want to be loved
I don't want to fight
I don't want to be a soldier
I want the pleasure of being able to feel
The most simple things...
