Ausência
Deixa secar no meu rosto
Esse pranto de amor que a presença desatou
Deixa passar o desgosto
Esse gosto da ausência que me restou
Eu tinha feito da saudade
A minha amiga mais constante
E ela a cada instante
Me pedia pra esperar
E foi tudo o que eu fiz, te esperei tanto
Tão sozinha no meu canto
Tendo apenas o meu canto pra cantar
Por isso deixa que o meu pensamento
Ainda lembre um momento a saudade que eu vivi
A tua imagem fiel
Que hoje volta ao meu lado
E que eu sinto que perdi
in Vinicius de Moraes, Poesia completa e prosa: "Cancioneiro"
*From a great poet to a great friend, whose name I find also melancholic and poetic, Ruy Mar, and who is making a brilliant study on the subject. Indeed, two great Brazilian.
