Lyrics – AFETO (Affection): (Mayra Andrade / Mayra Andrade)
I’m not quite sure what to do
Or how to tell you
Every time you come to me
I feel further from you
Your restraint has been passed on
But will be neutralized
Your restraint has been passed on…
No matter how hard I try
The color of the gold matters little
In the race to your affection
The medal is always bronze
I’m an orphan of your tenderness
It truly jumps out at me
When you appear straight and rigid
I realise there is little I can do
To make you change
Your restraint has been passed on
But will be neutralized
Your restraint has been passed on…
If you knew how to give me a hug
Maybe a kiss from time to time
And not be so severe
In pointing out my rough edges
Who would I be?
I’m an orphan of you tenderness
When it’s just you and me
And you fall asleep beside me
An ocean separates us
But you have no idea how this makes me feel
Over and over, the song repeats itself
The sadness that mutes me
Despite what you never say
Your love has been received
