Sendas distintas [English translation]

How different we both!

Your life is starting

and I already go,

half of the way.

You are not even living yet,

and I am already lazy at living

However,

like the plant that looks

for the lukewarmness of the sun

because it desires to bloom,

I insist with anxiety in your company,

so that you give

warmth to my sadness.

I insist with anxiety in your company,

so that you give

warmth to my sadness.

How near and how far!

I am the old dreamer,

you, a passionate girl

that singing to the light,

goes like the air.

But when I look close at you,

I imagine,

that I am

an abandoned castle,

and you a rose bush

in bloom next to the wall.
