O amado
Walmir Alencar
The Beloved
See where I have come to reach
I never imagined going so far
Your gaze certainly attracted me
And your voice still echoes in me
On this ground I planted my desire
Like a seed that surrenders to the end
I cultivated, watered with life
And the sunlight brought life to my garden
I have been to so many places
I discovered: You were always by my side
I approached your holy altars
And found shelter in your sacred heart
How can I not hear you? Your voice burns me
My soul wants to be close to you, my Lord
I am not my own master, I have become accustomed to being yours
I fought to get here, for I carry your love within me
Since I found you and walked in your path
I imitated your steps and decided not to turn back
All my desires were left behind on the road
They say I am no longer the same
But I carry your love within me
I belong to my Beloved and my Beloved is mine
