Vaga, no azul amplo solta [English translation]

Absence in the Wide Blue Yonder

Goes a wandering cloud

My past does not return

It is not that I am crying

What I cry is different

Enters more in the core of the soul

But as in the sky without people

The cloud floats calmly

What I cry is different

It is in the centre of the soul

While in the silent sky

The cloud sways calmly

And this brings back a sadness

And the memory is that it saddens

I give to longing a richness

Of emotion that time weaves

But in fact, what cries

In my bitter anxiety

Higher than the cloud lives

Is beyond the yearning

But in the end what cries

In this sad bitterness

Lives in the highest heaven

In the purest nostalgia

I do not know what it is nor do I consent

To the soul that knows it well

Because of the pain with which I lie

The pain that my soul has

I do not know what it is nor do I consent

To the soul that knows it well

Because of the pain with which I lie

The pain that is in my soul
