MODINHA by Antonio Carlos Jobim,

new words by Joel Sattler 

 

 

No.

 

No is a word that has no please

The heart insists on its own reasons

Ignores the months and years and seasons too

And treasons too

 

No.

 

No always goes to an extreme

Something came up bad in between us

Now I can’t wake up from what seems to be

A fever dream

 

Why?

 

You have it all:

Each drop of blood every bit of my soul

There’s nothing left so are you happy now?

Happy now?

Original lyrics in Portuguese by Vinicius de Moraes

 

Não

Não pode mais meu coração

Viver assim dilacerado

Escravizado a uma ilusão

Que é só desilusão

 

Ah, não seja a vida sempre assim

Como um luar desesperado

A derramar melancolia em mim

Poesia em mim

 

Vai, triste canção, sai do meu peito

E semeia a emoção

Que chora dentro do meu coração

Coração

No, the ultimate word of rejection. There is no more to say.
