Ao Meu Redor [English translation]

Around me there's a desert

You are not close

And still you are so close

Inside this refrigerator, in the pantry and the oven

In the drawer, in the garage and at the basement

In all of the closets, the dresses, the medicines, on a button

Inside the walls, through the rooms, through the buildings and at the gate

Even at that that I can't see

Even when I don't want to

I don't want to

In the shirt, in the shoe, the cigarette

On the magazine, in the pool, on the window, on the car beside

On the radio I hear the same thing

All the time, in February, in January, in December

Around me there's a desert

Everything that is close

And still is so close
