Bolero refrain
Song by Engenheiros do Hawaii ‧ 1987
I was the one who said "no way"
Now I regret it, biting my nails.
Fragile witnesses
Of an unforgivable crime
But I said "no way"
Heart in hand, like a bolero refrain.
I was sincere.
Since it cannot be
Such a common mistake
It haunts us all night long.
And when the drinking is over,
He can find us.
In a bar
With a cheap wine
A cigarette in the ashtray,
And a drunken face in the bathroom mirror.
Your lips are labyrinths,
That attract my most wicked instincts.
Your distant gaze always deceives me.
I always join in your gypsy dance.
I was the one who said "no way"
Now I regret it, biting my nails.
Fragile witnesses
Of an unforgivable crime
But I said "no way"
Heart in hand, like a bolero refrain.
I was sincere, I was sincere.
Your lips are labyrinths
That attract my most wicked instincts.
Your gaze always deceives me.
It's the end of the world every day of the week.
Your lips are labyrinths
That attract my most wicked instincts.
Your gaze always deceives me.
It's the end of the world every day of the week, yeah.
