Esquina do Adeus

Sailing life away
Through the sea of hope
I learned since childhood
To keep myself on the waves

At the dawn of youth
I saw the years pass quickly
In the tide of disappointments
I managed to survive

And I won in this journey
Hurricanes and storms
And lies and truths
That everyone has in life

But I lost the great fight
To a constant pain
The hallucinating longing
That I feel for someone

Guardian of sailors
This mysterious sea
What capricious fate
I ask you, is it mine?

If the past is dead
In the depths of youth
Why do I live with longing
For a love that has already died

Sad dreamy eyes
That looked at me with tenderness
When I was the happiest creature
That could exist

Who will be the lucky one
Who now marvels
At the charm of a girl
I could never forget

How many times I compare
The past and the present
You appeared gently
Adorning my days

I was happy but boredom comes
As always dominating
And I left you sobbing
On the corner of goodbye

You loved me in the age
Of the most heartfelt passion
But I left your life
Without noticing what I left

Tired of the search
For illusions and crazy dreams
Today I am slowly dying
For the love I scorned
