Saudades do futuro [English translation]

From Lisbon which is very much mine

Like you who loves her as much as I do

I send you a kiss on the swallow

Who in March delivered to me a kiss from you

Here in this garden waiting for you

As if you had not left

I say to autumn It's still spring

And I fill this fado with bougainvillea

At this time when love is so empty

There are things I don't know but I guess

A river on the verge of another river

Becomes one after the bend on the road

I feel so much longing for the future

For the time when with you I'll live

There is no sea no frontier no wall

That would be able my love to detain love
