Quisera Lavar o Pensamento [English translation]

I am done with fear and anxiety

In everything I see that is bad

One ache after another ache

Because such yearning is all that I have left.

And when I am convinced that I'm dead

It makes me live another day more

Blood still runs in me drop by drop

To make this agony greater

As the water of the sea washes the sands

I had wanted to wash out the thought

To drain from me the blood of these veins

And, empty, to leave following the wind
