lyrics

Cm7 G7
Teus olhos vermelhos
Cm7 G7
A boca tá seca
Cm7 F7 F#0
Cigarro apagado
G7 (pausa) Cm7
Fósforo aceso na mão
 
Cm7 G7
Acende essa vela
F7 Cm7
Que é pra acabar com as trevas
Cm7 G7
Acende essa vela
F7 G7 Cm7
Mas vê se fica esperta.
Eb D Ab G7
Já tem tanto sangue espalhado pelo chão
Eb D Ab G7
Já ouvi tanta história de cadeia e de prisão.

Your eyes are so red

I can see you've been crying

my heart skips a beat

and I reach out to your hand.

can you light up that candle?

cause I'm afraid of the darkness.

and when you light up that candle,

just beware of the fire.

There's so much suffering in the world.

there's no cure for pain, as I've been told.

But if you light up that candle,

we'll get away from the darkness.

and when you light up that candle, 

just beware of the fire.

Since I have surrendered,
I can see you’ve been crying,
I wish I could hold you
And I reach out to your hand.

There's so much bloodshed in the world.

there's no need for that, I feel so cold.
