Não muito distante [English translation]

I wanted a little more of joyness

This was what I wanted

More of joyness through my whole year

This was only what I wanted, more of joyness

But this is not what happened in my case

It is that I already knew indeed

I already knew

I already knew what the mistake was

It is that I did not have what I wanted when I could

And since then, no one else has ever told me

"Be back some day, not so later"

Who ever felt what I did when I left

and carried the enchantment with me

then must know why I so much cry, for so much joy

I well know it, I do know but couldn't have it

He told me one day, not to long ago

"Be back one dat, not so later"

And I said "Maybe someday, not so later"

I said "Maybe someday, not so later"
