Viagem
Nelson Gonçalves
Journey
Oh sadness, forgive me
I'm packed and ready
Today poetry came to meet me
The day has dawned, let's travel
Let's hitch a ride
On the light saddle, of the gentle wind
That's coming
From far away, from the end of the sea
Let's visit the star, of the dawn
That I thought was lost in the early morning
But it's hidden
Wanting to play
Sit on this clear cloud
My poetry, come on, get ready
Bring a song
Let's spread music in the air!
Look at how many white birds
My poetry, dance our waltz
Through the sky that one day
Embroidered with rays of Sun
Oh poetry, help me
I'll pick ferns, lilies, roses, dahlias
Through the green fields
That you name as gardens-of-heaven
But you can rest assured, my poetry
For we will return guided by a Star
In a moonlight flash, when it calms down
Or maybe, who knows?
We will only return on the bay horse
On the night's sorrel
Whose name is Ray, it's Moonlight Ray!
