A love struck Romeo, sings in the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low, with a love song that he made
Finds a street light, steps out of the shade
'n' says something like, "You and me babe, how about it?"

Juliet says, "Hey it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"
He's underneath the window, she's singing, 'Hey la, my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here, singing up at people like that'
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?

Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start,
And I bet, then you exploded in my heart,
And I forget, I forget, the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame,
Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same,
And I dreamed your dream for you, and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

When you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah
Now you just say, "Oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him"

Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said "I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die"
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

I can't do the talks, like they talk on the TV
And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you
I can't do anything 'cept be in love with you

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
All I do is keep the beat, 'n bad company
And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you, anytime

Ah Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
You said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
When you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?

And a love struck Romeo, sings a streets a serenade,
Laying everybody low, with a love song that he made
Finds a convenient street light, steps out of the shade
'n' says something like, "You and me babe, how about it?"
"You and me babe, how about it?"

Com o teu passo inseguro e o paraiso no teu olhar

Chegaste com três vinténs
E o ar de quem não tem
Muito mais a perder
O vinho não era bom
A banda não tinha tom
Mas tu fizeste a noite apetecer
Mandaste a minha solidão embora
Iluminaste o pavilhão da aurora
Com o teu passo inseguro
E o paraíso no teu olhar

Eu fiquei louco por ti
Logo rejuvenesci
Não podia falhar
Dispondo a meu favor
Da eloquência do amor
Ali mesmo à mão de semear
Mostrei-te a origem do bem e o reverso
Provei-te que o que conta no universo
É esse passo inseguro
E o paraíso no teu olhar

Dá-me lume, dá-me lume
Deixa o teu fogo envolver-me
Até a música acabar
Dá-me lume, não deixes o frio entrar
Faz os teus braços fechar-me as asas
Há tanto tempo a acenar

Eu tinha o espírito aberto
Às vezes andei perto
Da essência do amor
Porém no meio dos colchões
No meio dos trambolhões
A situação era cada vez pior
Tu despertaste em mim um ser mais leve
E eu sei que essencialmente isso se deve
A esse passo inseguro
E ao paraíso no teu olhar

Dá-me lume, dá-me lume
Deixa o teu fogo envolver-me
Até a música acabar
Dá-me lume, não deixes o frio entrar
Faz os teus braços fechar-me as asas
Há tanto tempo a acenar

Se eu fosse compositor
Compunha em teu louvor
Um hino triunfal
Se eu fosse crítico de arte
Havia de declarar-te
Obra-prima à escala mundial
Mas eu não passo dum homem vulgar
Que tem a sorte de saborear
Esse teu passo inseguro
E o paraíso no teu olhar
Esse teu passo inseguro
E o paraíso no teu olhar

Dá me lume, Jorge Palma

Fiquei contente quando hoje, pela primeira vez reparei na letra desta musica enquanto dava na radio.
