Há Sempre Uma Esperança

In life's disappointments
In the fading of dreams
There is always a farewell
Amid a mournful song

There is always a white handkerchief
And a tear in the eyes emerging
From someone who stayed behind
Watching someone else leaving

But, there is always hope
In the life of those who persist
In not walking so sadly
On the road wherever it may lead

But, there is always hope
Knocking on our door
Saving the almost dead faith
In the resurrection of love

In the rose, above the earth
That has not yet withered
It holds the same sadness
In the rhyme that a verse ends

Because when the rose withers
The scent fades away
It dissolves like the rhyme
Of a verse that someone forgets
