O Avesso dos Ponteiros [English translation]

The loneliness will always get to us

The time to straighten the closet will always come

The poet will always know the most beautiful things

The time that the camel will be thirsty will always come

Time flies by and greases the shoe

In the hurry, we don't see the Moon changes its format

People pass by my side to catch the subway

Thinking that life is a short film

The director goes on doing his job on deleting the scenes

And the old man get weaker emptying the flasks

And he doesn't go to the movie-theater any longer

Everything passes by and I still think about you

Everything passes by and I still think about you

When you left, I thought

Like this... Without looking back

Like a boat sailing on the horizon

Without remembering the harbor

The cars in front of me go on the road

And I never know where they are headed to

Would it be there where you hide yourself?

Everything passes by and I still think about you

Everything passes by and I still think about you

The age is shown in the hair that falls

Another month is beginning soon in the calendar

The old ladies are buying new clothes for them

The young ones are turning the pages in their diaries

Time makes everything worth

Mistakes are never a waste

Everything grows and the birth

Stops being the birth

And it goes on, almost reaching the middle

Then I begin to think that nothing has an end
