Saudade de Elis

It was a sound
That brought joy to the heart.
That made us not
Doubt God.

It was the voice of a woman
Whose song became immortal.
The closest to crystal
And perfection.

But life rushed on
And so soon then,
Silenced her voice.
Today she no longer sings for us.

We won't feel the thrill
Of new emotions anymore.
Her singing only
In old recordings.

On a radio or in a bar's sound,
On a record somewhere.
For us to remember happily.
How we miss you, Elis.
