Palavras Dadas [English translation]

Do not say proffered words

What you do not know, what you do not feel,

For they lead to grievances

That only come because you are lying.

Can't you understand

That in this void the poet

Is able to have the words

But never the right word.

If you hadn't lied there would be

The love that I had so much hoped for,

Of the coldest truth

Of the truth that I want

For it is this cold love

That binds us in anxiety.

There is also heat in the pain

The pain that brings the longing.
