Meu Amigo está longe [English translation]

Not a poem, nor a verse, not a song

all shallow absence,All smooth astonishment

Girlfriend, fiancee, mother, sister, lover,

My friend is far

And the distance is so great.

Not a sound, not a cry, not a woe

All quiet, all without a mother or father

Girlfriend, fiancee, mother, sister, lover,

My friend is far

And the sadness is so great.

There is sorrow,there's weeping,there is pain

love pain alone,the greatest love

Girlfriend, fiancee, mother, sister, lover,

My friend is far

And the missing is so great.
