Ao Canto da Noite

At the night's corner
I waited for the day
For hours to see her arrive

At the night's corner
I was already desperate
In all the corners she left behind

I waited like a day
Like an afternoon
Or even like tomorrow

Waiting to see herself yesterday
Already carried in arms
By the sunset

At the night's corner
No one stayed
Pretending to write poems to no one

At the night's corner
No one let
Confessions slip away for losing someone

Only those who passed by
And looked into nothingness
Saw a shadow hiding

Behind nothingness
The day waits
Like a slave to the horizon

It waits
In the depths of the night's corner
It flees
Far from the night's corner

At the night's corner
The day thought
That it could one day fall in love

If there were another day
That looked at it
And they both let themselves go

At the corner of a night
Without fears
Without rules to follow

Then flee from the corner
Without a destination
Without routes to follow

It has been heard
That in that corner resides the soul
Of many other souls
From other corners
From other nights
