Viagem

Oh, sadness, I'm sorry, I'm all packed up
Today poetry came to meet me
The day has broken, let’s hit the road

We’re hitching a ride
On the gentle breeze of the soft wind
That’s been blowing for a long time, from the edge of the sea

Let’s visit the morning star shining
That I thought was lost in the early dawn
But it’s hiding, wanting to play

Sit on this bright cloud, my poetry
Come on, get ready, bring a tune
Let’s spread music in the air

Look at all those white birds, my poetry
Dancing our waltz across the sky that the day
Has stitched with rays of sunlight

Oh, poetry, help me out
I’m going to gather ferns, lilies, roses, dahlias
In the green fields you call the gardens of heaven

But don’t worry, my poetry
We’ll return on a guiding star
In a moonlit glow when it calms down

Or maybe, who knows
We’ll just come back on a dappled horse
On the chestnut of the night whose name is lightning, moonlight lightning
