but not without your smile
that, like a comet, erases the darkness from my face
And I have been without you
but you were always there
buried in my tomorrow as if I were a seed
you grew slowly
It was August and I heard you
I had sand in my hands, your name between my fingers
to feel alive again
You are like the sea, I wanted to tell you
Hide the best part
I love you, voodoo love
It's nice to love each other and sometimes say it
Let's dance in the dark together
Together, voodoo love
I was looking for you in your places
the ones you always went to
But love doesn't use eyes.
You have the scent of my life and things to discover
Of a night staying awake and then goodnight to the sun
You are like the sea, I wanted to tell you
Hide the best part
I love you, voodoo love
It's nice to love each other and sometimes say it
Let's dance in the dark together
Together, voodoo love
And defenseless, I will wear your breath
What a beautiful sound things make when they begin.
You are like the sea.
It's nice to love each other and sometimes say it
Let's dance in the dark together
Together, voodoo love
My voodoo love
You are like the sea
My voodoo love
Together, voodoo love
You are like evil, I wanted to tell you
My voodoo love
It's nice to love each other, I don't know the future
My voodoo love
