O velho e a flor [English translation]

Through heavens and seas I traveled

I saw a poet and I saw a king

With the hope of learning what love is

Nobody knew what to say to me

And I already wanted to die

When an old man with a flower spoke like this

Love is a tenderness

It is the thorn hiding in every flower

It is life when

It arrives bleeding

Upon open petals of love
