                                          Quando Realmente Escrevi (version in english)

                                                 Actually when I wrote

When I stopped smiling false,
When I cried for a company.
Where hide me, my being sought.

I need to really live
Feel that they must die, hide me.
Gee! I ran, I ran so tired,
Now rest ...

When actually wrote,
When actually cried,
When really smile,
When really felt life.

I ask you now, I pray.
You describe the sea and its lavish adventures.
For I tell you:
Hearken birdsong,
The scent of flowers,
Weeping trees interspersed.

Then, run, run field apart,
Lie down and look up
And see the bluish clouds
Pass the wrapped hands and perceive
The soft green carpet.

I cried, Maybe, I do not have the sea and the sand ...
But smiling because I have:
Green,
The birds,
The flowers,
The forest
And your homesickness ...
