Velha porteira

When passing through the old gate
I felt my land closer to me
I was crying with emotion
Because my anguish was coming to an end

I confess it was my dream
Revisiting the farm where I grew up
I couldn't see the moment coming
To embrace my dear people again
That one day I left

What a cruel surprise awaited me
Seeing how the farm has transformed
Almost everyone from there moved away
And the old colony was deserted

The friends who remain there
They transformed so much that I didn't even know
And they didn't know me
And they didn't even realize that the years had passed
And I grew old

And you, my old gatekeeper
It's not like I left it either
Its posts are noisy over time
I also found fallen ones on the ground

I no longer hear your beats
Your sad creaking memory brings me
Gatekeeper in reality, you are the longing
From the time of childhood that never returns
