Soneto do Amor Total
Vinicius de Moraes
Sonnet of Total Love
I love you so much, my love, don't sing
The human heart with more truth
I love you as a friend and as a lover
In an ever-changing reality
I love you in a way, with a calm and steadfast love
And I love you beyond, present in longing
I love you, finally, with great freedom
Within eternity and at every moment
I love you like an animal, simply
With a love without mystery and without virtue
With a massive and enduring desire
And to love you like this, much and often
Is why one day in your body, suddenly
I will die from loving more than I could
