| No domingo eu li sua carta imensa contando tudo | On Sunday, I unfolded your great letter, vast as a sky unsealing all things |
| A primeira vez que eu soube o que pensa, soube de tudo | For the first time, I wandered through your thoughts—your secret garden laid bare in sunlight |
| E fiquei como quem não vive no mundo | I was left like a ghost who lingers just beyond the world's true border |
| E daí esse meu silêncio profundo | And so, this fathomless hush has wrapped me, a deep water where no voice escapes |
| Eu senti que a tristeza ia chegar e mudar | I sensed the slow tide of sorrow rising, poised to alter the tides of the heart |
| Ia tomar o meu coração | It crept to capture the citadel of my chest, its shadows stealing in |
| Hoje não sei mais o que penso | Today, my mind is a field untended, lost between furrow and seed |
| Quero, o que procuro | I long for some beacon, some sign—searching the fog for the glint I pursue |
| Eu queria tanto viver contigo o meu futuro | How I yearned to walk with you into the orchard of our unplanted future |
| Mas às vezes a coisa assim acontece | Yet sometimes, fate arrives like a stray wind—sudden, arbitrary, without reply |
| Aparece, parece, para aparece | It manifests, it shimmers, simply to reveal its own fleeting presence |
| Hoje nada mais resta além de esperar | Now, there remains nothing but waiting’s thin thread, stretched beneath the indifferent stars |
| Para ver alguma coisa acontecer | To witness the moment when some miracle flickers in the dusk |
| E chegar um novo dia | And a new dawn kindles—its breath sweet on stone |
| E o silêncio acabar e um novo dia | And the hush will be broken, and the world will be remade in morning’s gold |
