E Depois do Adeus
Paulo de Carvalho
And After the Goodbye
I wanted to know who I am, what I do here
Who abandoned me, who I forgot
I asked about myself, wanted to know about us
But the sea doesn't bring me your voice
In silent love, in sadness at last
I feel you in bloom, I suffer you in me
I remember you like this, leaving is dying
As loving is winning and losing
You came in bloom, I plucked you
You gave yourself in love, I gave you nothing
In your body love, I fell asleep
I died in it and in dying I was reborn
And after love, and after us
The goodbye, being alone
Your place more, your absence in me
Your peace I lost, my pain I learned
Again you came in bloom, I plucked you
And after love, and after us
The goodbye, being alone
