No meu jardim [Sementes à terra] [English translation]

More weeds rise from the ground

Than blossoms, in my garden;

They are watered by the loneliness

That you just sowed in me!

The leaves are falling in the Summer,

They are covering your rose garden...

I cannot find an explanation

For this abnormal Autumn!

I drop the seeds on the ground

And hope that they will grow, at last,

Just as grew that love

Which you once felt for me.

Yet moon after moon goes by

And the rain, the sun and the wind go by (as well)

And only a thought is born within me;

(It's) colourless, with a greyish shade.

I wonder whether there's someone

Who ever felt a sadness as great as mine,

For it even confounds

The very powers of Nature...
