Asas Fechadas [English translation]

Closed wings

They are weariness or fall

Thrown stone

Or flight at rest

Oh, my smile, deliver to me

And my look not dare...

Closed wings

Saying two thoughs

Both the same

And vertical verses

I only envision in your smile

One more hardship...

Closed wings

Descends those who climbed

Seeking the land

Is to have faith in heaven

In undecided smiles

Another dream was born...

Closed wings

A dream in despair

End stop

Or ascension without pair

In these smiles I hope

Since I don't know how to cry...

Silence is prodente

From one who only knows dreaming...

• Artist:Amália Rodrigues
