O Velho e a Flor
Vinicius de Moraes
The Old Man and the Flower
Through skies and seas I walked
I saw a poet and I saw a king
Hoping to know what love is
No one could tell me
And I already wanted to die
When an old man with a flower spoke like this
Love is the tenderness
It's the thorn that is unseen in every flower
It's life when
It arrives bleeding
Open in petals of love
