Que Assim Seja (Também Distante)

I want you more than just a part of my body
I feel you more than the breath of a breeze -- you
I need you more than fresh water from a well
Necessary
I worship you more than divine idols
I see you more than the light of bright colors
I hear you like the softest song
I call you more than a baby at the breast
I recite you as a verse that was not written
I respect you more than the four sacred elements

I proclaim you
Like the flag of the universe
I greet you like the day
What will be born
Because without you, I would be an arrant accountant
Without peace, without port, without love and without humor
Emotions and joys would not even be felt
And the beautiful things in life would pass away
I want God to protect you more
Because I love you more than you yourself
And from here, without a happy man, he says: "So be it"
Amen, I love you
Amen, I love you
Amen, I love you
