Full lyrics

Quando as águas rolaram do oceano

Destilei cada mágoa desse mar

Solidão inundou meu coração

Viajei procurando te encontrar


Percorri veredas no infinito

Fiz do velho um novo tempo luminar

Procurei longarinas no deserto

Pra saber quantas léguas caminhar

Encontrei vertentes a céu aberto

Vi meu verso no teu verso desaguar


Poeta que não chora

Não que não sonha

Não ganha abraço

Navalha que não corta

Não tine nem tem bom aço

Chuva fina que não molha

Não é chuva é mormaço

Translation

When the ocean waters rolled

I distilled every sorrow from that sea

Loneliness flooded my heart

I traveled searching to find you


I walked paths in the infinite

I made the old a new luminous time

I searched for guideposts in the desert

To know how many leagues to walk

I found open-air springs

I saw my verse flow into your verse


A poet who doesn't cry

Not that they don't dream

Doesn't get a hug

A razor that doesn't cut

Doesn't ring nor has good steel

Fine rain that doesn't wet

Isn't rain, it's mugginess
