PEITO VAZIO by Cartola and Elton Medeiros, new words by Joel Sattler

 

New title: “I Forget How”

 

There’s nothing I find I can do

When memory overwhelms me

There’s an emptiness inside my chest

And nobody can help me

 

And the fact that I miss your caress

Goes unnoticed

As I walk through the dark and the cold

Cause nobody cares what you confess when

you’re down on your luck and

you’re lonely and old

 

When this feeling rides over me now

It drowns all my senses

All the cachaca to drink in the whole world just

Won’t make any difference

 

On myself I could take my revenge too

But that’s if I forsake the advice of my friends

And I know I should not be a fool now

But I forget how

 

There’s nothing I find I can do

When memory overwhelms me

There’s an emptiness inside my chest

And nobody can help me

 

And the fact that I miss your caress

Goes unnoticed

As I walk through the dark and the cold

Cause nobody cares what you confess when

you’re down on your luck and

you’re lonely and old

 

When this feeling rides over me now

It drowns all my senses

All the cachaca to drink in the whole world just

Won’t make any difference

 

On myself I could take my revenge too

But that’s if I forsake the advice of my friends

And I know I should not be a fool now

But I forget how

Original lyrics in Portuguese:

 

 

Nada consigo fazer

Quando a saudade aperta

Foge-me a inspiração

Sinto a alma deserta

 

Um vazio se faz em meu peito

E de fato eu sinto

Em meu peito um vazio

Me faltando as tuas carícias

As noites são longas

E eu sinto mais frio.

 

Procuro afogar no álcool

A tua lembrança

Mas noto que é ridícula

A minha vingança

 

Vou seguir os conselhos

De amigos

E garanto que não beberei

Nunca mais

E com o tempo

Essa imensa saudade que sinto

Se esvai

 

Nada consigo fazer

Quando a saudade aperta

Foge-me a inspiração

Sinto a alma deserta

 

Um vazio se faz em meu peito

E de fato eu sinto

Em meu peito um vazio

Me faltando as tuas carícias

As noites são longas

E eu sinto mais frio.

 

Procuro afogar no álcool

A tua lembrança

Mas noto que é ridícula

A minha vingança

 

Vou seguir os conselhos

De amigos

E garanto que não beberei

Nunca mais

E com o tempo

Essa imensa saudade que sinto

Se esvai

A chest becoming a drum for the heart to beat, but then, if the soul is empty...no rhythm will ever come alive...
