🎤 LYRICS
(Intro – murmure grave, battement de cœur et basse urbaine lente)
Luanda respira como um corpo cansado.
As luzes fingem calma, mas o chão ferve.
Eu caminho — tênis gastos, fones baratos, alma sem bateria.

(Verso 1)
Na esquina do Maculusso, vi um sonho com fome,
pintado em grafite, com sorriso de álcool.
Um miúdo vende carga, outro vende fé,
e eu vendo o tempo, barato, só pra não morrer de pé.

Tu passas com vestido neon, perfume de sol fingido,
e dizes: “me leva”, mas teu olhar diz “some”.
O amor virou story de 15 segundos,
com filtro de saudade e legenda: “a vida continua”.

(Pré-refrão)
A lua olha e não entende:
por que dançamos quando dói?
Por que beijamos quando cai?
Mas é isso — a vida é breve e o beat é longo.

(Refrão)
Asfalto e lua, fogo e suor,
Luanda gira sem pedir perdão.
Corpos elétricos, promessas sem cor,
mas no teu toque ainda há canção.
Asfalto e lua, destino de vidro,

(Verso 2)
Meu kamba diz “a gente é ouro sujo”,
brilha um instante e volta pro escuro.
Mas quando a guitarra chora,
até o medo aprende a sorrir.

O mototáxi corta vento e poeira,
cada curva é um talvez,
cada semáforo um adeus.
E eu penso em ti — não por amor,
mas porque tua voz tinha ritmo.

(Ponte – spoken em Kimbundu sussurrado)
“Ndapandula, mundo, ainda tás a me ouvir?”
(Tradução : “Merci, monde, tu m’écoutes encore ?”)

(Refrão final – em coral suave)
Asfalto e lua, fogo e suor…
mesmo ferido, o peito quer sol.

(Outro)
Luanda dorme tarde — e sonha de olhos abertos.
