[POEM] Can You See -- José Afonso // Translated from the song "Vejam Bem"
[Verse 1]
Can you see
That there are not only seagulls on land
When a man sets himself to think
When a man sets himself to think
Who comes near
Sleeps bare at night in the sand
Sleeps bare at night in the sea
Sleeps bare at night in the sea
[Chorus]
And if there is
A square full of people mute
And a statue
And a statue burning with fever
There comes someone
Through the dark night in pursuit
And there's no one to be his reliever
And there's no one to be his reliever
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Can you see
Of that man in a ragged suit
Delving through the paths of bread
Delving through the paths of bread
And if there is
A square full of people mute
No one comes to raise his head
No one comes to raise his head
[Verse 1]
Can you see
That there are not only seagulls on land
When a man
When a man sets himself to think
Who comes near
Sleeps bare at night in the sand
Sleeps bare at night in the sea
Sleeps bare at night in the sea
[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
Can you see
That there are not only seagulls on land
When a man sets himself to think
When a man sets himself to think
Who comes near
Sleeps bare at night in the sand
Sleeps bare at night in the sea
Sleeps bare at night in the sea
[Chorus]
And if there is
A square full of people mute
And a statue
And a statue burning with fever
There comes someone
Through the dark night in pursuit
And there's no one to be his reliever
And there's no one to be his reliever
[Instrumental]
