Analysis of Dedication for Yulia

Carlos Jorge Tapadinhas 1971 (Vila Verde de Ficalho)



On behalf of you...
I went to deliver my destiny...
... in this sea... in your sea...

On behalf of you...
filled the sail of thought
... and on the tide... I left

On behalf of you...
the storm did not avenge
and the sadness did not come
and this pain didn't hurt
and the longing secreted
on behalf of you...
on behalf of you...

On behalf of you...
the world took another turn...
... and the sun... rose

On behalf of you...
there was a war i fought
... against me... and I won

On behalf of you...
madness doesn't matter
not even if the cold passed through the door
or if time has no return
that a hand grabs and lets go
on behalf of you...
on behalf of you...
