Canção Amiga
Carlos Drummond de Andrade
Friendly Song
I prepare a song
In which my mother recognizes herself
All mothers recognize themselves
And speak like two eyes
I walk down a street
That happens in many countries
If you don't see me, I see you
And I greet old friends
I distribute a secret
Like someone who loves or smiles
In the most natural way
Two affections seek each other
My life, our lives
They form a single diamond
I learned new words
And I made others more beautiful
I prepare a song
That makes men wake up
And put the children to sleep
