Minha Mãe
António Mello Corrêa
My Mother
My mother, I sing at night
Because the day punishes me
And it's in the silence of things
That I find a friendly voice
My mother, I scream at night
Like a boat that drifts away
And gets lost in the high sea
At the foot of the purest wave
My mother, I cry at night
In this love that I drown in
Because the words of life
No longer have another world
My mother, what have you done?
What has your love done?
In that late hour
When you offered me pain
That's why I am this song
My mother, so hurt
That I wear at night on my
Body
Without a destination, but with fate
