Viagem
Nelson Gonçalves
Journey
Oh! Sadness, I'm sorry
I'm packing my bags
Today poetry
Came to meet me
The day has already dawned
Let's travel
Let's go hitchhiking
On the light back
Of the soft wind
That is walking
From a long way away
From the end of the sea
Let's visit the star
From the dawning morning
That I thought was lost
At dawn
But it goes hidden
Wanting to play
Sit on that clear cloud
My poetry
Come on, get ready
Bring a song
Let's spread it
Music in the air
Look how many white birds
My poetry
They dance our waltz
By the sky that the day
Does all the embroidery
Of sunbeams
Oh! Poetry help me
I'm going to collect maidenhair ferns
Lilies, roses, dahlias
Through the green fields
That you baptize
From gardens of heaven
But don't worry
My poetry
For we will return
In a guiding star
In a moonlight
When to calm down
Or maybe even who knows
We will only return
On the bay horse
In the night sorrel
Whose name is lightning
It's a moonbeam
