about

My first song ever written, a bossa nova in Portuguese about my rock, to the tunes of Cuban jazz guitarist and my dear friend Emilio Martiní.

lyrics

Você é uma pedra
Impenetrável e rara
Um diamante bruto
Brilhante mas duro
O mar está agitado
Mas você não se move
Você fica nas ondas
Sem fazer perguntas

Pedra preciosa
Tão pura e linda
Você me aperta
Jóia valiosa
Você me apoia
Sempre estará

E quando estou quebrada
Distraída, perdida
Está lá minha pedra
Perdoa sem julgar
E na noite na luar
Ainda brilha a pedra
Quando outras estrelas
Se foram embora

Pedra preciosa
Tão pura e linda
Você me aperta
Jóia valiosa
Você me apoia
Sempre estará

(Solo)

Coro: siempre estará (x3)
Qué no se va
