empty boat

Caetano Veloso

From the stern to the bow
Oh, my boat is empty
Yes, my heart is empty
From the hole to the how

From the rudder to the sail
Oh, my hand is empty
From the wrist to the nail
From the ocean to the bay

Oh, the sand is clean
From the night to the day
From the stern to the bow
Oh, my boat is empty

From the strean is long
Yes, my dream is wrong
From the birth to the death
