Poema é noite cheia de amargura
Poem is night full of bitterness
Poema é a luz que brilha lá no céu
Poem is the light that shines there in the sky
Poema é ter saudade de alguém
Poem is to miss someone
Que a gente quer e que não vem
That we want and that we don't come
Poema é um cantar de um passarinho
Poem is a singing of a little bird
Que vive ao perder seu ninho
Who lives by losing his nest
É a esperança de o encontrar
It's the hope of finding him
Poema é a solidão da madrugada
Poem is the solitude of dawn
Um ébrio triste na calçada
A sad drunk on the sidewalk
Querendo a lua namorar
Wanting the moon to date
Poema é um cantar de um passarinho
Poem is a singing of a little bird
Que vive ao perder seu ninho
Who lives by losing his nest
É a esperança de o encontrar
It's the hope of finding him
Poema é a solidão da madrugada
Poem is the solitude of dawn
Um ébrio triste na calçada
A sad drunk on the sidewalk
Querendo a lua namorar
Wanting the moon to date
