Meu Amigo Está Longe

Not a poem, not a verse, not a song
All shallow with absence, all smooth with wonder
Friend, fiancée, mother, sister, lover
My friend is far away
And the distance is so vast

Not a sound, not a shout, not a sigh
All silent, everyone without a mother or father
Friend fiancée mother sister lover
My friend is far away
And the sadness is so immense

Oh, this sorrow, oh this weeping, oh this pain
Pain of love alone, the greatest love
Friend fiancée mother sister lover
My friend is far away
And the longing is so immense
