Não muito distante [English translation]

I wanted more happiness

That is what I wanted

Happiness to last all the year

(It was only this that I wanted, more happiness)

but it didn't, it didn't go well, in my case

It is that I also already knew,

I already knew,

I already knew what the delusion was.

It was that I did not have what I wanted when I could have had it

And after, no one else, ever again.

He told me, "one day, not too far from now"

"Return one day, not too far from now"

Whoever felt what I felt when I parted

--And I parted carrying the enchantment--

Is left knowing that I cry, because of great happiness

that I know, I know so well, but did not have

He told me, "one day, not too far from now"

"Return one day, not too far from now"

And I said, "one day, not too far from now"

I told him, "one day, not too far from now"
