Primavera
Carlos Lyra
Spring
My love alone
Is like a garden without flowers
I just wish I could go tell her
How sad it is to feel longing
I like her so much
That she might like me
The thing is I'm further from her
Than from the star shining in the evening
Star, I would tell you
Come down to earth, love exists
And poetry only waits to see spring born
To not die
There's no love alone
It's when it's together that it's good
I wanted to give her all my affection
I wanted to have happiness
It's that my love is so much
It's a charm that has no end
And yet, she doesn't know that exists
It's so sad to feel longing
Love, I will tell you
Love that I sought so much
Ah! I wish I could be
Your spring and then die
