Estrela da Tarde

Carlos do Carmo Carlos do Carmo

Evening Star

It was the longest afternoon of all afternoons
That happened to me
I waited for you, you didn't come
You delayed and I grew late
It was so late, that the mouth,
Delaying the kiss, bit
When at the mouth of the night you appeared
In the afternoon like a late rose
When we looked at each other we delayed in the kiss
That the mouth asked for
And in the afternoon we stayed united burning in the light
That was dying
In both of us on that afternoon in which so
You delayed the sun was rising
It was too late for another night,
For another day. (Chorus)
My love, my love
My evening star
May the moonlight wake you up and my body keep you.
My love, my love
I'm not sure
If you are joy or if you are sadness.
My love, my love
I'm not sure.

It was the most beautiful night of all nights
That happened to me
Of the nocturnal silences that at night
Were filled with aromas and kisses
It was the night when our two
Tired bodies didn't fall asleep
And from the most beautiful road of the night they made a fire party.

There were nights and nights that in one night
Happened to us
It was the day of the night of all nights
That preceded us
It was the clearest night of those
Who at night loving each other gave themselves
And between the arms of the night of so much
Loving each other, living they died.

(Chorus)
I don't know, my love, if what I say
Is tenderness, if it's laughter, if it's tears
It's for you that I fall asleep and wake up
And awake I remember in the song
That afternoon in which you appeared late
From a sad and deep corner
That night in which you were born early naked
Of sorrow and astonishment.
My love, it's never too late or too early
For those who love each other so much!
