Tereza

I lost you in jericoacoara.
I lost you in floresta tijuca.
I lost you in every part of the country.
I didn’t hear, didn’t listen,
Didn’t look for you--it was me it was me it was me

It was me, it was my big loss
It was me, it was my own desert
It was me, for no reason at all--
It was just my nature

You left me in fortaleza; I lost myself in empty walls.
Made myself a shoreline without water. Heat and sand was all.

I know a day will come when I’ll come see you;
In the window, your herbs are hanging--I'll admit something new:
It was me it was me it was me

It was me, it was my big loss
It was me, it was my own desert
It was me, for no reason at all--
It was just my nature

Oh, my tereza, it was just my nature
