Meu Amigo Está Longe
Amália Rodrigues
My Friend Is Far Away
Not a poem, not a verse, not a song
All shallow with absence, all smooth with wonder
Friend, fiancée, mother, sister, lover
My friend is far away
And the distance is so vast
Not a sound, not a shout, not a sigh
All silent, everyone without a mother or father
Friend fiancée mother sister lover
My friend is far away
And the sadness is so immense
Oh, this sorrow, oh this weeping, oh this pain
Pain of love alone, the greatest love
Friend fiancée mother sister lover
My friend is far away
And the longing is so immense
