Oásis

Oasis

Now go, right in the desert

The sandstorm blew over and brought you closer to me

Now come, resembling me

Also so new to this game, but already a fine lover

Now IWTC1, it’s alright

Cause I made a wish to a djinn, fingers crossed wide open

Now there’s gonna be a party in the forest

More than one million bards together for this seresta2

I offer you something to drink

You drink it all no drop left running

If I dreamed or if I'm still inside the dream

I don't know, I just know I'm enjoying it

And my heart beating to the sound of samba

We waltzing to that one song of Vittar3

I realized I was hallucinating

An oasis with both of us living there

But I know you don't want me, no

I flustered when you returned my kiss

It doesn't matter, sweetie, I won't bother you

One thousand and one rejections I've had to face

But I know you don't want me, no

I flustered when you returned my kiss

Another one, sorry, like me you won't find

On the line of the oasis, I hang the love to give

To to give to to to to give4

To to give to to to to give

To to to to give

To to to to give to to to to give

Now go, now it is over

I got kind of scoured, the hammock shook me

Now enough of this bad omen

I'm not a calf no more I finely polish my bulls

Now go, my lyrics have changed

Mamma mia, go-godammit, I want a flop brand new5

Now I will listen to my heart

Maybe from this beat another chorus comes out

I offered you water to drink

You grimaced and dashed away

If I dreamed, I heard when waking up

In the desert, your name was echoing

Are you aware you’re able to affect me

More than the situation of Brazilian politics?6

I freaked out, I'm always hallucinating

I will flee and be a Tibetan monk

‘Cause I know you don't want me, no

I flustered when you returned my kiss

It doesn't matter, sweetie, I won't bother you

One thousand and one rejections I've had to face

It's okay you don't want me over here no more

I flustered when you returned my kiss

It doesn't matter, sweetie, I won't bother you

The ideal is to learn to preserve myself

Cause I know, I must respect myself more

I've already noticed, my health is worth more than a kiss

Another one, sorry, like me you won't find

On the line of the desert I still hang the love to give

To to give to to to to give

To to to to give

To to to to give to to to to give

To to give

To to give to to to to give to to gift7

To to give to to to to give

1. "VDC", in the original, is slang for "i want to cry", hence why I replaced it with "IWTC"; now, it can also mean Virtual Design and Construction... I don't know if that's on purpose, but since Potyguara Bardo deals with alternative realities on her songs, I thought it could be important to point it out.
2. A Brazilian style serenade
3. Referencing Brazilian drag popstar Pabllo Vittar
4. the "Parada"s in this section are resemblant of "para dar", meaning "to give"; hence why I also translated them
5. This section references another 3 songs from the album; also, "caramba" means "goddamn", "dammit" and such, hence why I translated it and kept the stuttering.
6. Brazilian politics are wild... Seriously...
7. "Para dar" in the original sounds slightly as "paradise", hence why Potyguara Bardo does this word play in this verse. Therefore, I decided to do a little word play of my own here
