Light
I think of you by dawn
while my skin gets thick waiting for a new day
it's the right time to tell you that
when you reborn
my solitude will remain with me
and you
away from this insomnia
will illuminate my life.
Luz
pensar-te assim de madrugada
quando a minha pele se crispa à espera do dia
é o exacto momento de dizer-te
quando renasceres
minha solidão ficará comigo
e tu
à distância desta insónia
iluminarás a minha vida.
