Its a lonely place,
to love you;
A sad song,
with no prose;
A declaimed poem,
without rhymes.
Its living a life,
without objectives;
Sculpting marble,
without chisel;
Painting lovely pictures,
without paint.
Its suffering from a terminal illness,
that never ends;
to lack air to breath,
each time you inhale.
to weep deeply,
with dry eyes.
Its conquering the World,
for nothing;
Giving up,
one step away from the finish line
and remain there, looking,
watching the others go by.
(Portuguese Original Version)
É um lugar solitário,
amar-te;
uma canção triste,
sem prosa;
um poema declamado,
sem rima.
É viver uma vida,
sem rumo;
esculpir mármore,
sem escopro;
pintar murais lindos,
sem tinta.
É sofrer de doença terminal,
que não tem fim;
ter falta de ar,
ao respirar;
chorar profundo,
de olhos enxutos.
É conquistar o Mundo,
para nada;
Desistir,
a um passo da meta,
e ficar, olhando,
vendo os outros passar.
