lyrics

Porque foste na vida 
A última esperança 
Encontrar-te me fez criança 
Porque já eras meu 
Sem eu saber sequer 
Porque és o meu homem  
E eu tua mulher.

Porque tu me chegaste 
Sem me dizer que vinhas 
E tuas mãos foram minhas com calma 
Porque foste em minh'alma 
Como um amanhecer 
Porque foste o que tinha de ser.

“Because you were in life, the last hope. Because you were already mine without even knowing. Because you’re my husband and I am your wife. For you came to me without telling me that you were coming, and your hands were already in mine. Because you were in my soul as a sunrise, for you were what had to be.”

Haunting, contemplative, and sonorous, there is a langour to the layers of violin that is both calming and other-worldly, although sometimes full of foreboding. A very thoughtful and deeply hypnotic experience. Spaceman Si
