These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Ai, sonhos, pranto, rios, poço, corpo
Oh, dreams, tears, rivers, well, body
Do lírio e hortelã agreste!
From wild lily and mint!
São sonho que morre, são água que corre
They are dreams that die, they are water that flows
Que na minha sede bebeste
That in my thirst you drank
Na minha cama o lençol de linho
On my bed the linen sheet
Que hoje é como eu, sozinho
That today is like me, alone
A sua brancura, a minha ternura
Your whiteness, my tenderness
São minha loucura, meu espinho
They are my madness, my thorn
Na minha solidão, que é toda minha
In my loneliness, which is all mine
Na minha solidão, sozinha
In my solitude, alone
Tristeza em botão que eu guardo na mão
Bud sadness that I keep in my hand
Crescendo, crescendo, morrinha
Growing up, growing up, dying
