Poeta [English translation]

Who writes your songs

Saying what you feel

Makes hearts grow

Emotions like seed

Seeds that leave such

That inspire the birds

Building their nests

On the edge of the gale

And in equal confidence

Among your devotions

The poet in prayers

Writes the poems and fados

Illuminates the most tired

Who write your songs

Give us knowledge and courage

And is inspired by luck

Of such a simple art

That only talent has

Writes poems however

In the demented attempt

To tell everyone

In the emotions you didn't have

The writer is still lying

Saying what you feel

For this wisdom

Makes him so immortal

Give him courage equal

To a hero of allegory

Lives in a fantasy

The poet in songs

Brings everyone emotions

Gives images to drink

Illuminates and gives knowledge

Makes hearts grow

Now I understand the song

I've heard a lifetime

With your sowing

My heart grew

And in the evenings

I heard so many people sing

In this moving way

To understand that love

Grows just like the flower

Emotions like seeds
