Ausência [English translation]

I returned again to the pier

Recalled the farewell

Your look so sad

My voice restrained

I could not say goodbye

I am struck by your aspect

I pray to God and to heaven

That the trip is short

I am dealing with your absence

In all our places

And gather your essence

In the most ordinary of things

Will they be steady

The vows that you made

Or for an instant

Of all, have you forsaken me?

Already I have dried my tears

Finished my lament

But I am counting the hours

Waiting to meet you

Tell me you will not delay

Tell me it is not too late.
