Canção Amiga
Carlos Drummond de Andrade
Friendly Song
I prepare a song
In which my mother recognizes herself
All mothers recognize themselves
And that speaks like two eyes
I walk down a street
That passes through many countries
If they don't see me, I see
And greet old friends
I share a secret
Like someone who loves or smiles
In the most natural way
two affections seek each other
My life, our lives
Form a single diamond
I learned new words
And made others more beautiful
I prepare a song
That wakes up men
And puts children to sleep
