The Lies of Nyamathanga

Ahoy! Lips muzzling down the drain Minds trying to digest The four stomachs try to churn the chime As everything fills up Filled with the scent of your lies I vow to you and you alone That I will give my heart to no other but you No bones will bother your carcass Nor no tears mock your cheeks For I will give you what you deserve Nothing less, everything more Whose words are those Nyamathanga?? Eh! Streams of tears fill the gullies of my cheeks Fertile hearts eroded by your greed and ungratefulness The warmness of the sun no longer sustains my soul For all I can think is your lies Only your lies Nyamathanga I used to sleep like a madman With smiles attacking my lips Smiling in my dreams But now I snore like a train Because of you Nyamathanga I have eyes, he has I have a nose, he has I have legs, he has What makes him Ronaldo and me Gabadinho?? What makes him take my place in your heart? Nyamathanga, you are the sorrow of my youth I will never forget the day I opened you Nor I forget the day I first kissed you I remember very well It was there in front of them Oh! Yes, them the vendors With ululations and whistles filling the atmosphere As our lips parted
