Meu Desatino

My hat with a drooping brim hides the sun on the horizon
For it's from behind the mountains that I seek my destiny
A passion that I've carried inside my chest since I was a boy
Forgetting was impossible and it became my folly

For a long time, I suffered in silence, kept this feeling inside
But when the wind blew, it brought her perfume
Many springs have passed, and this yearning nags at me
Carrying a little spot for her on the saddle

Get ready, beautiful lady, I'm coming
Covering leagues of road to fetch you
Here at the ranch, it's losing life
For the green sparkle of your eyes is missing

From afar, I see the dwelling
And my heart races
A smile on my face emerges without me noticing
One thing I want to see
If upon hearing my voice
You'll still remember us and recognize me
I dream of the comfort and warmth of your embrace
That I didn't even feel my tiredness from the many leagues I walked
It might go wrong, I know, but I can assure you
If your father doesn't accept me, I'll take you with me
